Web Service APIs for Custom Needs<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Custom LMS integration via open interfaces<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Standard features cover most needs\u2014but not all. If your organization requires custom portals, location-specific workflows, or deep integrations with existing system landscapes, open web service interfaces are the key.

The basics of integrating REST, SOAP, HR\/ERP systems, and SSO are described on the \"API & System Integration\" page.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

Real-World Example<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Custom-designed portals for decentralized locations<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Background:<\/strong> An international company operates a corporate academy with several training centers around the world. Due to varying local requirements, each training center needs specific training management functions. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Challenge:<\/strong> A centralized LMS is to be used, but each location should still be able to operate its own specialized functions and portals. A rigid, standardized solution does not allow for customization at the location level.

Central LMS with Decentralized Extensions<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Each training center accesses SoftDeCC using its own web applications or mobile apps. The training data is stored in a central database, and custom features are developed for each location. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A location in Germany is developing an application via web services for automatic course registration that integrates with the internal HR system. A U.S. location uses its own web app for compliance training with automatic reminders. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

When should I use the Web Service API instead of the standard integrations?<\/h3><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

When standard interfaces aren’t enough\u2014for example, because a location needs its own portal, its own mobile app, or location-specific workflows that go beyond simple data synchronization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

Can each location of an international organization operate its own portals?a<\/h3><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Yes. Web services allow for the development of decentralized, location-specific applications, while the training data remains centrally stored in a database\u2014as described in the practical example. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>
