Headless LMS: the learning engine, without the portal.
Learning appears inside Teams, Salesforce, Workday, your intranet or a custom app. Your systems of record stay exactly where they are, and nobody has to win an LMS migration fight to get a better experience.
What is a headless LMS?
Learning where people already work.
A headless LMS separates the learning engine (content, tracking, skills data and compliance evidence) from the front-end experience. Instead of forcing employees into a vendor's portal, the learning layer surfaces inside the tools they already use.
- Sits over what you already run. Identity, ERP, HRIS, CRM and even the LMS you're retiring.
- Composable, API-first. Toggle each capability on its own. Every capability is tested for uptime twice a day.
- Enterprise identity. SAML/OIDC single sign-on and SCIM provisioning.
- Hosted your way. On premises, in your cloud or ours, with EU data residency in the UK, Poland or Norway.
- Migration optional. Bring content into our backend on your timetable, or never.
Identity, ERP, HR and CRM data are signals about who someone is and what they actually do. Skills Velocity reads all five and turns them into learning built for that one person, automatically.
Prefer everything under one roof? We can migrate your existing content into our LMS backend too. Your call, never a requirement.
Live in enterprise procurement
A global manufacturer retired its legacy LMS. This is the brief.
A multi-billion-dollar industrial manufacturer, with three global business units, 50,000+ learners and operations behind the Great Firewall of China, retired a decade-old Saba/Cornerstone estate after concluding it could no longer justify the renewal.
Frequently asked
Headless LMS: your questions answered.
What is a headless LMS?
A headless LMS separates the learning engine (content, tracking, skills data and compliance evidence) from the front end. Learning surfaces inside the tools people already use, such as Teams, Salesforce, an intranet or a custom app, while your systems of record stay where they are.
How is a headless LMS different from Cornerstone, Saba or Workday Learning?
Traditional platforms are monolithic systems of record that ask for a rip-and-replace migration. Skills Velocity is composable and API-first: it sits above the systems you run, connects via SSO and SCIM, and lets your own developers surface learning inside your existing stack.
How long does an enterprise deployment take?
Enterprise deployments typically go live within weeks of contract award, phased across business units with pilot cohorts and a hypercare period. Core tracking is often live within 90 minutes of setup.
Is it secure enough for a regulated enterprise?
Yes. ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, GDPR-aligned with EU data residency or on-premise hosting, aligned to the EU AI Act and EU Accessibility Act, with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit.
