Question 4

Can Shiken Replace My LMS?

Accepted Answer

Shiken replaces outdated learning management systems. In fact we've replaced hundreds of traditional LMS platforms in our first 3 years of trading such as Learning Pool, Kallidus, SAP Litmos, Looop, Totara, Fuse and Cornerstone. Our Learning and Skills Platform combines all the compliance requirements of the traditional LMS with features such as personalisation, social learning, comms, skills and a consumer-grade experience. It's an all-in-one platform. However, we understand sometimes a platform can be very embedded into an organisation. Shiken is also capable of plugging over the top of an existing LMS, ensuring you can still give your learners that stellar, modern learning experience.
