Extended Enterprise

One LMS.

A branded training site for every audience.

Your training shouldn’t stop at your org chart. With Microsites, the Knowledge Anywhere LMS lets you deliver uniquely branded training experiences to customers, channel partners, franchisees, resellers, members – any audience, inside or outside your organization, across your extended enterprise.

Give every audience its own branded experience

Each Microsite has its own URL and its own look and feel. Customize logos, colors, images, and text – page types can be branded and personalized per site.

Your channel partners see their training center. Your franchisees see theirs. Learners get an experience that feels made for them, while you maintain one platform behind the scenes.

Manage every Microsite from one place

There’s no juggling separate systems. Administrators with global rights manage all Microsites from a single administrative location – create sites, assign learners, publish content, and send site-specific messages without ever switching platforms – while site-specific administrators can also be designated.

Content can be shared across Microsites or assigned to a single audience, so you build a course once and decide exactly who sees it. Course access, messaging, and enrollment are all segmented by site.

Delegate administration with confidence

Let partners and site owners run their own training – safely. Microsite-specific administrators can manage learners, upload content, adjust branding, and run reports for their designated Microsite only, with no visibility into the rest of your LMS.

Multiple administrator levels give you fine-grained control over who can do what, and administrators can be granted rights over one Microsite or several. You stay in control of the platform; your partners stay in control of their people.

Get learners to the right site automatically

Onboarding external audiences shouldn’t require manual setup for every learner. Issue registration codes that automatically place new learners in the correct group, grant access to the correct Microsite, and assign the correct training content – all in one step at account creation.

Single sign-on is supported, learner data can be imported from your existing systems, and the learner interface is localized into 30+ languages, so you can roll out training to partner networks around the world.

Measure every audience, together or apart

Run reports by Microsite to see exactly how each audience is progressing, or roll everything up for a complete view of your extended enterprise. Dashboards and scheduled reports keep central administrators and site administrators informed – each with visibility into the sites they manage.

Compare partner performance, track franchisee compliance, and prove the impact of your customer education program with data that’s segmented the same way your business is.

Turn external training into revenue

Extended Enterprise pairs naturally with ecommerce. Sell courses and certifications to customers, members, and partner networks directly through a Microsite, with support for multiple payment services and currencies.

Whether training is a value-add for your partners or a product line of its own, Microsites give you the storefront – branded for each audience – to make it happen.
