Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs: Extended Enterprise Learning
How do I securely integrate external partners into SoftDeCC LMS?
External partners are integrated through multi-client support and self-service registration. Role-based access rights and single sign-on (SSO) ensure data security and compliance-driven access control.
Are custom branding and self-service options available for partner training?
Yes—each partner network receives a learning portal featuring its own corporate design. Partners register on their own, which speeds up onboarding and increases adoption of channel training.
How are learning paths created for different roles, such as compliance officers or insurance brokers?
Learning paths are configured based on roles: Compliance Officers, branch employees, insurance brokers, IT security professionals, and executives automatically receive the mandatory modules that comply with regulatory requirements. Location- and country-specific requirements can be managed in parallel.
How does certificate and compliance management work in the Extended Enterprise LMS?
SoftDeCC automatically generates certificates upon course completion, manages validity periods, and creates complete audit trails—ensuring ISO- and GDPR-compliant documentation for regulatory authorities and customers.
What system interfaces does SoftDeCC LMS offer for integration?
SoftDeCC offers open REST APIs for ERP, CRM, HR, and production systems. Common integrations include SAP, SuccessFactors, and Salesforce. The interface overview shows all available connectors.
How does SoftDeCC LMS ensure data protection for external users?
Through ISO 27001 certification, encrypted data storage, and GDPR-compliant processes. All data is hosted in German data centers.
Is Extended Enterprise Learning different from an enterprise LMS for large companies?
Yes: Extended Enterprise Learning is designed for external partners such as distributors or resellers. The Enterprise LMS for large enterprises addresses the internal structural complexity of large organizations. The two can be combined.
Can we also use SoftDeCC to manage our internal, global training organization?
Yes. The Extended Enterprise features for external partners can be combined with theinternational training management features —for example, if you want to provide training to both your own locations worldwide and external partner networks in multiple countries.
