How seamless LMS integrations elevate the employee experience

Many organisations we speak to raise the challenge of having too much content spread across too many different systems. Ultimately, it's no one's fault, but they are left with a fragmented ecosystem and lost employees who don't know where to turn for knowledge.

At 5app, we solve this challenge by seamlessly integrating with your existing tech stack to bring everything into one centralised Hub. Our smart integrations allow employees to access the right content at the right time, improving their learning experience and driving operational efficiency. And the best part? 5app is super simple to use, can be set up in a matter of days and comes with a low total cost of ownership, making it the perfect solution for multiple learning and communication scenarios.

In this blog, we explore all the integrations we currently offer – from SSO and HRIS integrations to AI-powered discovery and curation tools – all to make the employee experience just a little bit easier.

Effortless access with SSO integration

Security and ease of access are top priorities for any organisation, and no one wants to hunt around for their many usernames and passwords every time they need access to a different system. With our SAML 2.0-certified single sign-on (SSO), we integrate with the most common workplace tech stacks, such as Microsoft, Google, and LinkedIn. This means employees can access the Hub with just a single click, eliminating the need to remember multiple passwords.

All your content under one roof

Wherever your content lives, 5app makes it instantly accessible through three key integration methods:

a. Links – Bring your resources together

Any URL or microsite package (e.g. SCORM) can be opened directly in the Hub, ensuring employees do not have to search multiple platforms to find essential resources. Whether it's internal documents, external courses or company policies, 5app brings everything together in one place.

b. Content library integrations

For organisations with preexisting learning libraries, we integrate directly with platforms like Workday, Skill Pill, LinkedIn Learning, CrossKnowledge and Growth Engineering. It’s super handy when you need to deliver courses or specific content to your cohorts, as employees can access their learning without leaving the Hub.

c. Centralised content management

For content providers (like content partner Hemsley Fraser), 5app allows the creation of parent Hubs (or ‘stores’ as we call them). In your store, content is centrally managed, curated and distributed to customer Hubs. This feature benefits training providers and large enterprises managing multiple divisions or partners and dramatically speeds up distributing content to large, diverse, complex audiences.

AI-powered course creation in minutes

With our latest partnership with AI authoring provider Mindsmith, content curators can now build courses in minutes using source data and user prompts. We call this VeeCreate.

This integration simplifies content creation with AI content authoring, making it easier for L&D teams to deliver high-quality, engaging learning materials quickly and efficiently.

Content can be created from scratch using generative AI or from preexisting content assets, websites and courses. The best part is that AI authoring is available directly in your Hub, with no need to jump between systems or import or export files.

AI-powered discovery with Vee

Finding the right content at the right time is crucial for an effective learning experience. Our AI tutor agent, Vee, allows users to call upon a virtual agent directly within the Hub for content discovery and scenario-based coaching.

Vee facilitates two-way conversations, helping employees get the precise information they need instantly. This AI-powered discovery mechanism transforms learning into a more interactive and personalised experience – and, you've guessed, is integrated directly into the Hub with users being able to call upon Vee at any point in the platform.

Smart user management with HRIS integrations

As businesses grow, managing users efficiently becomes increasingly important. 5app integrates with Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) such as Workday, Oracle and HiBob to sync employee data, including job roles, locations, and manager information.

Our Smart Teams feature automatically provides employees with access to only the content relevant to their role and skill set. This automation reduces the administrative burden while ensuring employees always have the right learning materials available.

LMS integrations for accurate learning completion data

Tracking learner progress across multiple systems can be a challenge, but 5app simplifies this by providing API integrations with various learning management systems, including Growth Engineering, Eightfold, and SuccessFactors.

With these LMS integrations, organisations only need to manage a single set of learner data, ensuring that training records remain accurate and up to date. By automating this process, L&D teams save valuable time while ensuring compliance and tracking requirements are met.

Why 5app? The future of integrated learning

By combining secure access, content aggregation, AI-powered discovery, automated user management and LMS integrations, 5app ensures employees have everything they need in one intuitive Hub.

And unlike traditional learning management systems that require complex setups and high ongoing costs, 5app is designed to be:

• Super simple to use – no technical expertise required, making it accessible for admins and employees alike.
• Rapid to set up – get your organisation up and running in a matter of days, not months.
• Low cost of ownership – a flexible platform that can be used for multiple learning and communications scenarios without hidden costs.

This unified approach enhances the employee experience, boosts productivity and ensures that organisations can effectively scale their learning and knowledge-sharing efforts.
