    The playbook

    LMS migration in 6 steps.

    A LMS migration doesn't have to mean lost content or downtime. Follow this plan to replace your LMS safely — whether you're moving to a modern, AI-native alternative to a traditional LMS or consolidating tools into one.

    1

    Audit & inventory

    List every active course, learning path and certification, plus who's mid-way through. This is your migration checklist — and it usually reveals how much old content can be retired instead of moved.

    2

    Export your content

    Pull courses out of your current LMS as SCORM, xAPI or MP4, and export completion records. Everything you own comes with you — nothing is trapped.

    3

    Rebuild or import with AI

    Import SCORM as-is, or let AI rebuild dated courses from your source docs into modern, interactive lessons — often faster than editing the originals, and in 100+ languages.

    4

    Pilot with one team

    Run the new platform alongside the old one for a single team. Prove completion, tracking and reporting on real learners before you commit company-wide.

    5

    Cut over & communicate

    Switch teams over in waves, not a big-bang. Redirect links, announce the change and keep the legacy system read-only during the transition.

    6

    Decommission the legacy LMS

    Once every team is live and history is archived, retire the old contract. Most teams land on one platform that builds, delivers and tracks — no more tool sprawl.

    De-risk the switch

    The four fears — and why they don't hold.

    “We'll lose our SCORM courses.”

    You won't. Export them as SCORM/xAPI and import them into ContentBuilder, or keep them running in parallel. Nothing is thrown away — and AI can modernize them when you're ready.

    “There'll be downtime.”

    No big-bang cutover. Run old and new side by side and switch teams in waves, so learners always have a working system.

    “We'll lose learner history.”

    Export completion and certification records before you switch, archive them, and re-import the records that matter for audits and compliance.

    “People won't adopt a new tool.”

    A cleaner experience and AI-built courses lift completion, not lower it. The pilot proves adoption with one real team before any company-wide rollout.

    Docebo, Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, Moodle, TalentLMS or 360Learning — export, rebuild and cut over the same safe way.

    How long it takes

    Most teams migrate in about a month.

    Week 1

    Audit & export content + records

    Week 2

    Rebuild / import + configure

    Week 3

    Week 4

    Cut over in waves + decommission

    LMS migration FAQ

    In six steps: audit your active courses and learners; export content as SCORM, xAPI or MP4 plus completion records; import or rebuild courses in the new platform; pilot with one team running alongside the old system; cut teams over in waves; then decommission the legacy LMS. Running old and new in parallel is what makes the switch low-risk.

    Yes. Export them as SCORM or xAPI and import them into ContentBuilder, or keep them running in parallel during the transition. You can also let AI rebuild older courses from your source material into modern interactive lessons — nothing is trapped in the old system.

    A mid-size catalog typically migrates in about four weeks: roughly a week to audit and export, one to two weeks to rebuild and configure, then a pilot and a waved cutover. Larger enterprises run more pilot waves, but the steps are the same.

    There shouldn't be. Because you run the new platform alongside the old one and switch teams in waves, learners always have a working system. Export completion and certification records before cutover and archive them, so audit history is preserved.

    Yes. It's a modern, AI-native alternative to a traditional LMS: it builds courses from your knowledge, delivers them in 100+ languages and tracks completion — replacing a separate authoring tool plus LMS. The migration playbook works for Docebo, Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, Moodle and others.
