What is Extended Enterprise LMS?

Extended Enterprise LMS refers to delivering learning and training programs to external audiences—customers, partners, resellers, and contractors—rather than just internal employees. This type of training helps ensure that your external network is aligned with your organization's goals, brand, and standards. The goal is to enable these stakeholders to represent your brand better, understand your products, and operate in compliance with your standards.

Extended enterprise training typically includes product education, compliance training, certifications, and role-specific skills development. It allows you to efficiently onboard, upskill, and certify external participants in the same way you would your internal workforce.

Consistency, Compliance, and Growth

Why is Extended Enterprise Training Important?

Extended enterprise training is critical for organizations to maintain consistency and compliance across their entire business ecosystem.

Consistency Across the Ecosystem

Training your partners, customers, and contractors ensures consistent service delivery, product knowledge, and adherence to your company’s values and standards.

Compliance & Risk Mitigation

Training external stakeholders on regulatory requirements or company-specific standards ensures compliance with applicable laws and regulations, mitigating risk for your organization.

Enhance Customer Satisfaction

Well-trained customers and partners are more likely to understand your products, improving customer satisfaction and reducing support costs.

Monetize Training Programs

Extended enterprise learning can become a revenue-generating tool for organizations that sell training or certification programs to external users. It provides high-quality training courses to a broader audience.
Automate, Track, and Scale Your External Training Programs
