What Is a Fully Managed LMS?
Understanding the Fully Managed LMS
A fully managed LMS is a learning management system where the provider handles all technical aspects, including hosting, updates, security, and maintenance. Unlike self-hosted or plugin-based systems, like a WordPress-based LMS, users focus solely on delivering courses and managing learners — without worrying about software upkeep.
Key Benefits
- No Technical Maintenance — Hosting, updates, backups, and security are handled for you.
- Faster Setup — Launch courses quickly without configuring servers or plugins.
- Better Performance — Optimized infrastructure ensures smooth learner experiences.
- Scalability — Easily grow your learner base without worrying about capacity or load times.
- Expert Support — One point of contact for all technical and user support issues.
