Seamlessly integrate TCmanager® into your HR, finance, and ERP systems
An LMS only delivers its full value when it is not used in isolation. Qualifications, participants, cost centers, and attendance data are typically generated in HR, finance, and collaboration systems and must seamlessly integrate with your learning management system. This is exactly what system integration enables: TCmanager® connects to your existing system landscape via APIs, single sign-on (SSO), and interfaces, ensuring consistent data without manual duplication.
SoftDeCC provides the learning infrastructure. The deeper TCmanager® is integrated into your systems, the higher your level of automation and digitalization across the learning ecosystem.
Benefits of LMS System Integration
An integrated learning ecosystem reflects your specific requirements by connecting your LMS, learning platforms, collaboration tools, and business systems such as HR and finance. Key benefits for training centers and L&D teams include:
- Reduced manual workload: Master data, qualifications, and bookings are automatically synchronized instead of manually maintained.
- Consistent data across systems: A single source of truth ensures that HR qualifications and LMS learning progress remain aligned.
- Improved data security: Controlled access via secure interfaces replaces error-prone file exports and email transfers.
Standard Software Integrations
We enable secure and reliable data exchange by integrating TCmanager® modules with widely used enterprise systems across HR, finance, collaboration, and compliance. Common integrations include:
- HR systems: Personio, Workday, BambooHR, Sage HR...
- Collaboration tools: Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex...
- ERP and finance systems: SAP...
- Learning content platforms and standards: LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, GWO/WINDA (Global Wind Safety)...
We support both standard and custom inbound and outbound integrations. Additional systems can be connected upon request.
and many more...
Secure Data Exchange & Process Automation
Using APIs and web services, our modules integrate deeply into your IT landscape, enabling secure data exchange between systems. Automated workflows and robotic process automation (RPA) take over repetitive tasks, increasing efficiency and advancing digital transformation.
Data security is a priority: SoftDeCC Modules includes a detailed role and permissions concept with full data traceability, supporting compliance requirements in regulated industries.
Single Sign-On (SSO) for LMS
Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication method that allows users to log in once and access multiple connected systems without repeated authentication. In an LMS context, SSO improves both user experience and administration:
- Seamless user experience: One login reduces friction and lowers support effort.
- Enhanced security: Fewer passwords reduce risk; access can be centrally monitored and controlled.
- Centralized user management: Permissions are managed in one place, supporting compliance and security policies.
TCmanager® supports common SSO standards such as SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect for easy integration with your identity provider.
API Integration – REST Interface
The TCmanager® web service provides extensive functionality for automated processes and system integration. For applications without standard connectors, the REST API enables flexible integration - even with systems that do not offer native interfaces.
If you have internal development resources, a development license provides full access to the API method library. This allows you to build a customized learning ecosystem using your own expertise or in collaboration with an agency - while leveraging the full capabilities of TCmanager® LMS.
We also provide onboarding and technical guidance to help your development teams become productive quickly.
Asynchronous Interfaces vs. Real-Time Connectivity
In system integration, asynchronous interfaces and web-based (real-time) connectivity serve different purposes. The right approach depends on how time-sensitive your data exchange is.
- Asynchronous interfaces:
Periodic, delayed data transfer; ideal for large volumes of non-time-critical data (e.g., HR qualification sync, financial data imports).
- Real-time (web-based) connectivity:
Immediate, synchronous communication between systems; ideal for real-time queries, instant updates, and interactive processes.
Most advanced LMS environments combine both approaches, depending on whether processes require real-time or scheduled data exchange.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is LMS system integration with TCmanager®?
It connects TCmanager® with HR, finance, and collaboration systems via APIs, SSO, and interfaces, enabling automated and secure data exchange.
Which interfaces and protocols are supported?
TCmanager® offers a REST API, asynchronous interfaces for scheduled data transfer, and SSO support via SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect.
What are the benefits of SSO in an LMS?
SSO enables a single login across systems, reduces password complexity, centralizes user management, and improves security.
What is the difference between asynchronous interfaces and real-time connectivity?
Asynchronous interfaces transfer data periodically, while real-time connectivity enables immediate, synchronous communication between systems.
Can I build a custom LMS environment using the API?
Yes. With API access, you can develop a tailored learning ecosystem using internal resources or external partners.
How is data security ensured?
Through a comprehensive role and permissions model, full data history, and compliance with GDPR and ISO standards (ISO 9001 and ISO 27001).
