MULTI-TENANT LMS OR MULTI-PORTAL LMS
Abara LMS comes with a powerful multi-portal architecture for organizations whose needs are more advanced than what a typical single portal LMS can full fill.
Abara LMS can deliver a truly multi-portal system to corporate organizations and training companies with multiple use cases.
WHAT IS A MULTI-TENANT LMS OR MULTI-PORTAL LMS
A true multi-portal or multi-tenant LMS is one where you can achieve true separation based on your organizational structures. The separation could be of various kinds:
Simplified: Personalized dashboards with branding, logos, and visual differentiators between organizational structures like departments, brands, and office locations.
Advanced: Separation at a database level, allowing you to physically isolate your brands, departments, and office locations.
Many LMSes claim to be multi-tenant but are truly simplified structures to provide personalized experiences. In such cases, users and their data are still saved within the same database which can lead to complications within the multiple brands, departments, and office locations that your organization manages. And for many organizations, this is enough. But if you’re looking for a more advanced multi-tenant platform, Abara LMS offers one of the most advanced multi-portal or multi-tenant LMSes in the world.
WHY YOU MAY NEED A MULTI-TENANT LMS OR MULTI-PORTAL LMS?
CONTROL
You must be able put hard separation between different user groups within your organization and cannot risk co-mingling of data and administrative access to data that they should not have or do not need.
DATA PROTECTION LAWS
If you are a multi-country organization and the laws of data privacy are different across the world, you may want to use that as the core basis to achieve multi-tenancy.
DE-CENTRALIZATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS
You may simply not want to create a large centralized L&D control structure and want to allow L&D decision makers and administrators to have more control and autonomy.
DISTRIBUTED BUDGETS
Depending on the nature of the organization and the number of employees in different business units or locations which have separate budgets for training, it makes sense to differentiate the individual systems in order to manage budgets accordingly instead of performing complex charge backs and cost accounting activities.
A multi-portal LMS may make your life easy for L&D teams of global or multi-location organizations with multiple unique business units and separate P&L accounts. Building a business case for an LMS is never an easy task and doing so across a complex, distributed organization makes it even tougher.
