Interfaces & APIs – System Integration for Your IT Environment
Seamlessly integrate learning systems with your IT infrastructure—automatically, securely, and without duplicate data entry.
The SoftDeCC API integrates your learning ecosystem with HR, ERP, finance, and collaboration systems. Master data, qualifications, enrollments, and learning progress are synchronized across systems—ensuring consistent data and reducing manual effort.
From standard integrations to custom interfaces: SoftDeCC lays the technical foundation for a fully interconnected learning environment.

SoftDeCC API & Interfaces
The Benefits of System Integration
An integrated learning environment is tailored to your specific needs—combining learning and skills management, collaboration tools, and business applications such as HR and finance.
Three key benefits stand out for training centers and talent development:
• Less manual effort: Master data, qualifications, and bookings are transferred automatically instead of being maintained manually.
• Consistent data: A single data source, no data disconnects—qualifications in the HR system and learning progress in SoftDeCC remain synchronized.
• Greater data security: Access is controlled via defined interfaces rather than through export files sent by email.
Expanded System Landscape via Interfaces
Standard software that we integrate
To ensure secure and accurate data exchange, we integrate common standard software from HR, finance, collaboration, and compliance.
Typical systems:
• HR & Human Resources: Personio, Workday, BambooHR, Sage HR …
• Collaboration: Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex …
• ERP & Finance: SAP …
• Learning Content & Standards: LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, GWO/WINDA …
We implement standard and custom inbound and outbound integrations. We can integrate additional systems upon request.
System Integration & Interfaces
Secure Data Exchange, Automation, and Robots
Using interfaces and web services, we deeply integrate your SoftDeCC modules into your system landscape and ensure secure data exchange between applications. Automated processes and software robots (RPA) take over recurring routine tasks, thereby increasing the level of digitalization in your organization.
Data security is a top priority: All modules feature a granular permissions and roles framework with a complete data history—designed to meet the compliance requirements of regulated industries (including ISO 27001 and the GDPR).
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single Sign-On is an authentication method that allows users to log in once and then access multiple linked services without having to log in again.
In learning management, SSO reduces the workload for administrators and learners:
• Seamless user experience: One login instead of many—this lowers the barrier to entry for the learning platform and reduces support requests.
• Security and risk mitigation: Fewer passwords mean fewer potential points of vulnerability; access can be centrally monitored and blocked if necessary.
• Centralized user management: Access rights are managed in one place, which simplifies compliance with security standards.
To connect to your identity provider, SoftDeCC modules support the SSO standards SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC)—which are compatible with Azure Active Directory, Okta, and other popular identity providers.
Comparison
Asynchronous interfaces or web-based connectivity?
In data communication, interfaces and web-based connectivity serve two different purposes. Which option is appropriate depends on how time-sensitive the data exchange is.
| Criterion | Asynchronous Interfaces | Web-Based Connectivity |
|---|---|---|
| Transmission Mode | Asynchronous, periodic | Synchronous, real-time |
| Characteristics | Data is collected and transmitted at regular intervals; efficient use of bandwidth | Direct interaction between systems via the Internet |
| Typical Applications | Matching qualifications in the HR database, importing cost and revenue data into financial accounting | Real-time queries, immediate status updates, seamless user interaction |
| Suitability | Non-time-critical, industrial bulk data | Time-critical, interactive processes |
In practice, mature learning environments combine both approaches—depending on whether a process is to run periodically or in real time.
The SoftDeCC API is a module of the SoftDeCC Composable Learning Ecosystem (CLE).

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About the SoftDeCC API
What Is System Integration at SoftDeCC?
System integration connects your SoftDeCC modules to other enterprise systems—such as HR, finance, or collaboration tools—via APIs, single sign-on, and interfaces. This enables data such as qualifications, participants, and costs to be exchanged securely and automatically between the systems.
Which systems can be integrated via the SoftDeCC API?
We frequently integrate HR systems such as Personio, Workday, BambooHR, and Sage HR; collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex; ERP systems such as SAP; and learning content providers such as LinkedIn Learning and Coursera. We can integrate additional systems upon request.
Does SoftDeCC support single sign-on (SSO)?
a, via the SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) standards, compatible with Azure Active Directory, Okta, and other popular identity providers.
What is the difference between asynchronous interfaces and web-based connectivity?
Asynchronous interfaces transmit data at intervals and periodically—ideal for non-time-critical processes such as the reconciliation of qualifications. Web-based connectivity enables synchronous data exchange in real time, such as for immediate interaction between systems
How secure is data exchange via the SoftDeCC API?
Data access occurs through defined, controlled interfaces rather than via manual export files. All modules feature a granular permissions and roles structure with a complete data history, designed to meet ISO 27001 and GDPR requirements.
Can the SoftDeCC API be used on its own, or is it part of a larger system?
SoftDeCC API is a module of the SoftDeCC Composable Learning Ecosystem and works closely with the other modules (LMS, Seminar Management, SQM, LXP). Details: Composable Learning Ecosystem for Businesses → .
