Beyond the LMS: Building the Infrastructure for Sustainable Training at Scale

When a fast-scaling global organization needed to streamline and govern its partner training ecosystem, the challenge was much more than choosing an LMS. Here's how we built an infrastructure that scaled with the business—without adding headcount.

The Challenge

This high-growth organization faced mounting complexity across its extended enterprise training model, including:

• Inconsistent user experiences across partner-facing portals

• Manual group assignment and enrollment processes

• Fragmented admin roles with no system of accountability

• Limited visibility into learning engagement and completion

• High support ticket volume for basic administrative tasks

Strategic Solution

We built a scalable, flexible learning infrastructure centered on clarity, automation, and governance—anchored by three core pillars:

1. Technology Architecture

• Designed a federated model within Docebo to support vendor-specific learning portals

• Created group-based enrollment rules using user attributes (e.g., region, role, employment type)

• Aligned SSO attribute mapping with auto-enrollment logic

• Established naming conventions and data hygiene protocols for long-term scalability

2. Process Infrastructure

• Defined rules-based group logic to auto-enroll learners into targeted content

• Developed repeatable templates for partner onboarding programs

• Built administrator dashboards to enable self-service support

• Formalized content request and update procedures to reduce ad hoc work

• Introduced metadata standards to future-proof learning analytics

3. Support Systems

• Created a knowledge hub for LMS administrators and vendor leads

• Established role-based permissioning to support decentralized maintenance

• Documented governance policies and change control processes

• Designed admin training workflows with self-paced and live support

• Built a long-term roadmap for sustainable platform growth

Measurable Impact

Within weeks of implementation, the organization reported:

• 85%+ reduction in manual enrollments due to auto-grouping logic

• Drastic decrease in support tickets related to onboarding and user access

• Clear role delineation across platform admins, improving operational clarity

• Consistent partner experience across distributed portals

• Ability to scale partner enablement without adding internal headcount

Key Insight

The right LMS is just the beginning. What drives long-term success is building the infrastructure around it—clear rules, repeatable systems, and a governance model that empowers internal teams to scale, adapt, and lead.
