Learning Management System: Features and Options
An overview of the most important functions
The LMS provides the technological basis for professionalizing continuing education in your company and making it clear. All learning processes are therefore always perfectly organized.
Rights and roles
Control your team's learning activities using permission groups and approvals. Automate workflows in your company and also map complex structures of a distributed organization. This saves you time and money.
Event management
Simply set up face-to-face events and webinar appointments. With Haufe Academy's event management, you can keep track of all your appointments, participants and resources. With the speaker cockpit, your speakers also make an active contribution to event planning.
Analysis and reporting
Use the clear dashboards to track the learning progress of your teams and employees. With comprehensive reports on users and learning activities, you ensure that learning KPIs and compliance are met in your organization.
Course management
Create your own learning content according to your needs with the integrated authoring tool. Whether it's WBTs, videos, podcasts, documents or interactive exercises, you determine the format. In this way, you provide every learner with the right learning offer.
Multilingualism
Make the LMS tangible for international teams and employees in your organization as well. The Haufe Academy LMS user interface supports 26 languages for learners and 6 language options in the administration area.
Appointment management
Create and manage both in-person events and online webinars. Expand your offerings and combine digital learning formats with on-site appointments.
Participant management
Register participants manually or enable flexible self-enrollment.
Resource management
Plan and manage the rooms, materials and hotel contingents from a central location. Keep track of material and human resources at all times and save time and money.

Our learning management system offers a much wider range of functions than most other providers.

HR and HCM system connection

Questions and answers about the LMS
No, any number of authors (administrators) can be created.
Yes, you can sign up for a personalized 20-minute demo. During the demo, we will be running the LMS. In addition, you will receive a test account for a certain period of time.
The minimum license period is three years.
The system offers an open API architecture (REST API) with various endpoints, via which data can be exchanged and third-party systems can be connected to the learning management system. A specific integration of the LMS into your system landscape can be considered individually on a case-by-case basis. We would be happy to advise you on this. In addition to the REST API, common virtual meeting solutions (such as Microsoft Teams or Webex) can be connected directly to the LMS.
It is possible to organize live training sessions and manage participants accordingly. The live training itself — such as a webinar — must be held using an external tool.
Yes Our learning management system offers target group management including automated distribution of learning content to these target groups. The prerequisite is that the identification characteristics of the target groups are maintained accordingly in the data sets of the user accounts.
The authoring tool allows you to easily create learning content, such as teaching tools, quizzes, flashcards, etc. This content can then be integrated into courses at will via the learning management system. In addition, you can create separate tests (e.g. for certifications).
The learning management system is a SaaS solution. The software is browser-based and can therefore be accessed via any standard browser. This happens regardless of the operating system. It is also possible to purchase a PWA (Progressive Web App).

It is important that your company's IdP (identity provider) is proficient in SAML 2.0 initiated in accordance with the service provider.
The system offers a REST API, which allows various other systems to communicate and interact with the learning management system. If required, these enable integration into an existing system landscape. There are also direct integrations with various meeting conference solutions.

The LMS is hosted in a data center in Germany. The data center is ISO-27001 certified and climate-neutral.
The learning management system is software as a service (SaaS). It is therefore cloud-based and not an on-premise solution.
