LMS365 Receives $20 Million Investment

LMS365, an online learning management system developed for Microsoft's products, has received a $20 million investment led by Kamet Capital and Blue Cloud Ventures. Founded in 2003 by Bjarne Mortensen, Denmark-based company Elearningforce's product is used by companies such as Hellmann logistics company and soda bottling franchises like G&J Pepsi.

The company's product has evolved into a cloud-based product with support for Teams and Microsoft 365. The company was acquired by Johan Wedell-Wedellsborg in 2018 and technically retained the Elearningforce name. However, it was rebranded LMS365 in 2015 to reflect the Microsoft collaboration.

Online learning management system

LMS365 offers a course builder and learning module builder where users can drag and drop existing content elements from Microsoft Office software, such as PowerPoint, Word and Stream. It is also possible to import pre-existing courses or exams stored in SCORM or AICC format. These features could be useful for cybersecurity or regulatory compliance for general industry-specific training.

This means that for end users, these capabilities mean new hires can be onboarded quickly through Microsoft Teams or receive ongoing training in any field, from customer service to mental health management. Administrators can track student progress and present relevant data using Microsoft Power BI visualizations.

LMS365 is in the race for global expansion and has expanded its market reach by acquiring distribution partners in the US, Germany and Australia.
