Benefits of a Test Installation
A trial installation is by far the best way to make a fact-based decision about a future-proof learning management system—not based on presentations, but on your own experience. A meaningful trial period is therefore crucial to the long-term success of your training organization.
1
Real-World Environment In the test installation, you’ll work with SoftDeCC LMS exactly as it will operate later in live production. You’ll evaluate the user interface, functionality, and usability based on your actual requirements—not on demo data. Configuration requests can be implemented as early as the test phase.
2
Integration: Test the integration of SoftDeCC LMS into your existing IT infrastructure—including HR systems, ERP, identity providers, and learning platforms. This allows you to identify and resolve compatibility issues early on—before they become critical to production.
3
Performance: Evaluate how the LMS performs in real-world training scenarios—such as high usage rates, complex learning paths, or concurrent compliance training sessions. This is precisely what cannot be reliably tested in a demo.
4
User Feedback: Gather structured feedback from training administrators, instructors, and learners. This feedback is crucial for ensuring that the LMS meets the needs of all stakeholders—and is well-received when it goes live.

Procedure for a Test Installation
How does an LMS test installation work?
Installation
The learning management system will be implemented as a test installation in your server environment or on one of our servers.
Configuration
We configure the processes for the LMS, seminar management, and skills management based on your requirements. Upon request, we can also import some of your data.
Training
We provide thorough training for your pilot team. We’ll be there for you throughout the entire testing phase, answering your questions and supporting you with topic-specific workshops.
Analysis
We'll work with you to review your testing processes and test results and show you additional ways and options for achieving your goals.
Decision
Based on your experience, you can assess whether the LMS meets your requirements. If necessary, please let us know if you have any additional configuration or customization requests, which we will implement for you.
Go-live
Finally, we'll go live with the version that has been tested and optimized for you, so you can begin an organization-wide rollout.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About the Trial Installation
What is the difference between a test installation of an LMS and a demo version?
In a test installation, you work with SoftDeCC LMS in your own system environment, using your own processes and real data. A demo version only shows standard functions under sample conditions—without integration testing, without personalized feedback, and without configuration options.
Specifically, which areas can be tested during the trial phase?
During the LMS trial phase, you can test course management, skills management, compliance processes, system integration (e.g., HR systems, ERP, Workday), and performance under high usage volumes in real-world conditions.
How long does a typical LMS test installation with SoftDeCC take?
The duration depends on the scope of your project: Installation and basic configuration are typically completed within a few days. The actual testing phase—including the pilot team, workshops, and evaluation—can be planned on a case-by-case basis and is tailored to your internal decision-making cycles.
How much does a trial installation of an LMS cost?
The scope and cost depend on your requirements. Implementation services may be eligible for tax benefits—please contact us: During a free initial consultation, we’ll clarify the scope, costs, and next steps.
