HomeeLearning and LMS migrations

Migrate your LMS to Cortexa and fill it with courses your people will complete.

Organisations come to us to move off a platform that is holding them back, and for content their people will complete. As a Totara Platinum Partner we handle the migration and hosting, and supply 300+ ready-to-use courses alongside bespoke content built for your brand.

Most platforms fall behind gradually rather than failing overnight.

Migration moves every eLearning file, record, course and result from one platform to another, whether that is between two vendors of the same software or between different products. These are the reasons organisations give us for moving.

Dated and hard to maintain

Workarounds have built up to the point where they cause your administrators problems every day.

Too customised to upgrade

Customisations made to fix old problems now make the platform too complicated or costly to upgrade.

Outgrowing the system

The business is expanding and training needs with it, but the current site cannot keep pace.

Poor support

Slow replies, capped hours and little interest in helping you develop the platform.

Learners hitting obstacles

Outdated systems and content that is not intuitive or accessible create technical problems for the people you are trying to train.

Stranded on an old version

The platform has fallen so far behind that upgrading is now a much bigger and more expensive job.

How we approach a migration.

We give equal weight to the technical work and to how we run the project, and we keep you updated throughout.

01

Our own hosting

Whatever infrastructure your platform runs on today, we move it onto our own cloud environment. We host exclusively on Amazon Web Services.

02

Move first, then improve

We get the platform moved cleanly into the Cortexa environment first, then start fixing inherited problems and workarounds once it is stable.

03

Customisations and integrations

We find out early what has been customised and agree with you what happens to each item: bring it across as it is, rebuild it with newer core functionality, or replace it with a plugin. Integrations with HR, ERP, CRM and other systems move across too.

04

Thorough testing

We copy your current data, set the site up on our hosting and test it for technical and usability problems before any learner uses it. Launching untested can mean weeks of troubleshooting.

05

Support from people you know

You deal with a team you know by name rather than an automated ticket system. Support is uncapped, so there is no limit on how often you can contact us.

06

All your data comes with you

Files, course content, learner records, completions and results are checked against the old platform before go-live and can be reported on from day one.

Over 300 courses, ready to upload.

Our libraries can free up your L&D team for internal projects or give you a broad catalogue to build role-specific pathways from. They work on a platform hosted by us or on the one you already have.

RoSPA assured health & safety

Covers general workplace safety, specialist environments, risk management and reporting, chemical hazards, transport and equipment, food safety and safeguarding.

Workplace skills

Professional development across communication and social skills, management and leadership, sales and marketing, customer service and teamwork.

Compliance and corporate social responsibility

Diversity and inclusion, environmental awareness, data protection, finance and other workplace responsibilities.

Cyber awareness and resilience

Accredited and endorsed by the NCSC. Teaches learners to protect against online threats and data breaches and to work securely wherever they are.

Mental health and wellbeing

Interactive courses that help learners recognise and manage their own wellbeing, and support others around them.

Other courses on request

If your requirement is more sector specific or niche, tell us what you need and we will explore the options with you.

Bespoke content built for your organisation.

Our content designers build branded courses for you, whether you need specific messaging or extra capacity to keep up with demand.

SCORM compliant

Everything we create imports into any compatible learning management system, Totara included.

Designing learning solutions

We work through your training challenges with you and design courses to address them.

Video and animation

Motion graphics, filmed scenarios and professional actors, tailored to your learners and their goals.

Automated assessment

Self-marking quizzes, activities and tests at a range of difficulty levels, linked to your qualification or certification process.

Intuitive interface design

Simple, easy-to-use course interfaces, so learners can concentrate on the content.

Repurpose and reuse

You get the original source files alongside the finished packages, so your team can edit and update content in house.

A stable platform with content your people will complete.

A group-wide platform delivering training and performance management to 2,200+ employees across 20+ brands.

IBMG needed industry-specific training alongside accredited health and safety content to meet their compliance obligations. Cortexa supplied the sector training, and the RoSPA assured library covered COSHH, vehicle and tool safety, office and warehouse safety and managing safety, all delivered through one Totara platform.

Common questions

Will we lose learner records and course history?
No. Migration moves your files, data, records, courses and results across together. We copy your current data, install it on our hosting and test the whole site before go-live, so history and reporting are intact from the first day.
Can you migrate us from another Totara partner, or from a different LMS?
Yes. As a Totara Platinum Partner we have migrated customers from other Totara partners, from Moodle providers and from entirely different products.
What happens to the customisations we already have?
We review each one with you early on. Some come across as they are, some are rebuilt using newer core Totara functionality, and some are replaced with a custom plugin. Integrations with HR, ERP and CRM systems travel with you.
Can we mix your libraries with our own content?
Yes. Everything we produce is SCORM compliant, so off-the-shelf libraries, bespoke content and your existing courses sit side by side in one catalogue. For bespoke work you also get the original source files to edit in house.
Who hosts the platform after migration?
We do, on Amazon Web Services. Hosting, monitoring, updates and security patching are handled by us as part of the service, and support is uncapped.
