LMS Scalability: How to grow your online training platform without compromise?

A scalable LMS or learning management system is an elearning platform that can grow to meet your evolving user and business needs. It’s an online training platform that has the ability to take on more users, more content and more requests without affecting loading times, facing debilitating bugs or crippling downtime. 

In few instances, learning management systems can be optimised to allow them to scale. However in most cases, you’d need to build a new LMS with scalability in mind from the outset.  Take a look here for an example of how we scaled a client’s LMS to host 1 million active users.

There are many reasons why an organisation would need an LMS to be scalable. Firstly, and most obviously, is that you don’t want to create or invest in an LMS that can’t grow with your business or user base. If your LMS is holding you back from growing, you should seriously consider some of the options below to help you scale.
