Migrate from your legacy LMS to SKILL55—without disruption
We preserve your data integrity, maintain continuity for learners, and execute a phased rollout that minimizes risk. No downtime, no lost records.
Migration in 8 steps
A methodical, risk-managed approach to moving from your legacy LMS to SKILL55.
Discovery & Inventory
We audit your current LMS: content formats, user structure, completion history, integrations, and reporting needs.
Data Mapping
Map users, groups, roles, and organizational hierarchy. Identify completion records and certification history to preserve.
Content Migration
Migrate content by format (SCORM, xAPI, video, documents). Restructure into SKILL55 learning paths with version control.
Program Rebuild
Recreate learning paths, cohorts, prerequisites, and certification logic. Configure completion rules and expiry tracking.
Integrations Setup
Connect SSO, HRIS imports, and any custom integrations. Test data flows and user provisioning.
Pilot Rollout
Launch with one department or site. Validate workflows, gather feedback, and refine before full rollout.
Full Rollout
Phased deployment across all audiences. Monitor adoption, provide user support, and adjust as needed.
Hypercare & Optimization
Post-launch support for 30 days. Optimize reporting, address edge cases, and train admins on advanced features.
What we migrate vs. what we rebuild
Understanding what transfers directly and what requires reconfiguration.
We Migrate (Direct Transfer)
- User accounts and profiles
- Completion history and records
- Certification status and expiry dates
- Content files (video, PDF, SCORM, xAPI)
- User groups and organizational structure
- Historical reporting data
We Rebuild (Reconfiguration)
- Learning paths and program structure
- Cohort assignments and deadlines
- Completion rules and prerequisites
- Certification logic and workflows
- Custom reports and dashboards
- Integrations (SSO, HRIS, APIs)
Risk management & continuity
How we avoid downtime and ensure learners experience no disruption.
Parallel Running
Both systems run simultaneously during pilot. Learners can access old LMS while we validate new one.
Phased Rollout
Deploy by department, site, or audience type. Learn from each phase before expanding.
Rollback Plan
If critical issues arise, we can revert to legacy LMS while we resolve. No data loss.
What influences migration timeline
Typical migrations take 8-16 weeks. Here's what affects duration.
Faster Migration (8-10 weeks)
- Content already in standard formats (SCORM, xAPI)
- Simple user structure (single audience, no complex hierarchies)
- Few or no custom integrations
- Dedicated internal project team available
Longer Migration (12-16 weeks)
- Legacy content in proprietary formats requiring conversion
- Multi-audience (employees + partners + franchises)
- Complex integrations (HRIS, ERP, custom APIs)
- Large content library (1000+ modules)
Migration FAQ
Will we lose completion history and certification records?
No. We migrate all completion records, certification status, and historical data. Learners retain their progress and certificates.
Can learners access training during migration?
Yes. We run both systems in parallel during pilot phase. Learners can access the old LMS while we validate the new one.
What content formats can you migrate?
We support SCORM 1.2/2004, xAPI (Tin Can), video (MP4, streaming), documents (PDF, Word, PowerPoint), HTML5, and most proprietary formats with conversion.
How do you handle custom integrations?
We assess your current integrations (SSO, HRIS, APIs) and rebuild them in SKILL55. Standard integrations (Azure AD, LDAP) are straightforward. Custom APIs require scoping.
What if we need to go back to our old LMS?
We maintain a rollback plan. If critical issues arise during pilot, we can revert to your legacy LMS while we resolve them. No data is lost.
Do you provide training for our admin team?
Yes. Admin training is included in migration. We train your team on content management, user administration, reporting, and troubleshooting.
