An LMS that doesn't require your IT department to already be on SAP.
SAP SuccessFactors LMS is a solid option if you're in the SAP ecosystem. If you're not — or if you're looking for an agile, multi-audience LMS deployable in 48h without an SAP consultant — Skill55 is for you. Cheaper, independent, local.
What SuccessFactors does well
SAP SuccessFactors LMS is one piece of a complete HR ecosystem. For large organizations already using SAP HCM or SAP HR, native integration is an undeniable advantage: employee data, training plans and skills flow without friction between modules. For companies with an SAP ERP in place, it's coherent.

Why choose Skill55
Zero dependency
Skill55 works on its own. No need for an SAP ERP in place, a certified consultant, or a 6-month integration project.
The real cost of SuccessFactors
The license is $2.17/user/month, but implementation costs are often 3× the annual license. Skill55 is cheaper in total cost, with no nasty surprises.
Multi-audience native, not an add-on
Skill55 natively manages your employees, partners, franchisees and field networks from a single system.
Your training team runs it, not your IT department
SuccessFactors is an enterprise platform that requires a dedicated administrator. Skill55 is designed to be managed by non-technical people.
Based in Morocco, built for Africa
Most LMS platforms are built in the US or Europe, with English-only support and dollar contracts. Skill55 is designed and operated from Morocco. Your contact speaks French, understands the realities of the local market, and can support your rollouts across West Africa. For organizations with local compliance constraints, we offer an option to host data exclusively on Moroccan soil.
Frequently asked questions
SAP SuccessFactors LMS is designed for organizations already invested in the SAP ecosystem. If your organization doesn't use SAP for its HRIS, or if you're looking for an agile and affordable standalone LMS, SuccessFactors is often oversized — with high implementation complexity and deployment cost.

No. Skill55 is up and running in 48h with no technical skills. SuccessFactors LMS typically requires a multi-month implementation project with a certified SAP partner.
