LMS migration transfers all the training assets from an outdated and non-functional LMS to a new one.
Companies migrate from their existing LMS to a new system primarily because it causes issues and hinders the effectiveness of their training programs.
When to Migrate Your LMS
Limited functionality. Your LMS lacks essential integrations and cannot support new content formats or mobile learning.
Complexity and cost. A user-friendly and cost-effective platform is desirable due to the complexity and expense of your old LMS.
Company growth. Your company's rapid growth requires a more scalable solution with more capabilities than your current LMS.
Technical issues. Software bugs, crashes, and slowness in your old LMS are disrupting learning.
Need for an integrated solution. All your learning activities need to be on one platform for consistency and transparency in analytics.
Inadequate provider support. Your LMS provider's customer and tech support fall short.
Storage and user limitations. Your legacy LMS is reaching its storage capacity or active-user limits, restricting further growth or expansion.
LMS Migration Services
For switching to a different LMS provider, this process entails transferring data and content from the Learning Management System (LMS) to another, such as from Blackboard to Moodle or from Canvas to SharePoint LMS.
Organizations use this migration service to upgrade their existing LMS to a newer version, like the latest Moodle version with Moodle developers. The new version requires data transfer and settings adjustment.
It is designed for businesses seeking to migrate their LMS from on-premise servers to a cloud-based solution. This migration offers benefits such as reduced IT costs, improved accessibility, and increased scalability.
The service prioritizes secure LMS data transfer, including user data, course content, assessment data, and more. It also facilitates the transfer of educational resources, such as course materials, quizzes, and multimedia content across platforms.
With this service, companies can connect their LMS with other systems, such as Content providers, CRM, Student Information Systems (SIS), Human Resources systems, or third-party applications. The migration allows for communication and data sharing between the new LMS and other systems.

LMS Migration Process by Belitsoft
Pre-Migration Assessment. The assessment of your current LMS structure, data type, and volume will help us recognize migration challenges. Our eLearning team inventories courses, content, and user data for transfer. We use an authoring tool to find courses needing recreation, check for eLearning standard support in the new LMS (e.g. SCORM and xAPI), and identify feature gaps in the current LMS. To identify courses for recreation, we use an authoring tool and confirm eLearning standards supported by the new LMS (e.g. SCORM, xAPI) while also locating feature gaps in the current LMS. Through auditing, we transfer essential content and eliminate any excess data for the new LMS.
Choosing a New LMS. We work with you to define your business and training needs post-migration. This involves creating a user group from various departments to evaluate the pros and cons of the current system. After documenting all requirements, we assist in selecting a new learning platform that aligns with your goals.
LMS Migration Planning. In a pre-migration planning session, we develop a detailed migration plan, including the migration strategy, timeline, and a contingency plan for potential issues. We map the data and features from your existing LMS for transfer and consider integrations with other systems, like HRIS, CRM, and ERP.
Data Backup and Cleaning. To prevent data loss, our specialists create a complete backup of your current LMS data. We also clean up the data by removing old courses, user data, and irrelevant files.
Data Migration. During this phase, we identify and extract data from your current eLearning platform. We catalog data fields with user-friendly names and descriptions, evaluate which data to migrate, test for data accuracy, and finally, migrate the data to the new LMS.
LMS Migration. We work with you to determine the desired downtime for your LMS and choose either a gradual or immediate migration approach.
Testing. After the migration, our eLearning specialists conduct comprehensive testing to ensure all features of the new platform are working correctly. We verify that scalability and compatibility requirements are met.
User Training. We provide training sessions for LMS administrators, end-users, and other stakeholders, enabling them to effectively navigate and utilize the new system. Adhering to best practices significantly optimizes the performance of the LMS.
Post-Migration Support. Belitsoft offers ongoing support to address any issues or questions that may arise after the migration is complete.
