What easylearn does

easylearn schweiz ag is a Swiss-headquartered Learning Management System (LMS) provider, founded in 1994 and operating across the DACH region (Switzerland, Germany, Austria) with a wholly-owned German subsidiary, easylearn Deutschland GmbH, in Rosenheim. The company sells a modular LMS platform that consolidates e-learning delivery, classroom and blended-learning event management, an integrated wiki/knowledge base branded 'easylearn find', an authoring tool, and assessments/surveys into a single solution, supported by a content library of over 1,000 pre-built standard courses covering compliance, workplace safety, IT security, and professional development. The platform is developed and hosted in Switzerland, with a dedicated German cloud center for EU data residency, and is ISO 27001 certified and holds the Swiss Made Software label.

The platform is built on proprietary technology developed over more than 25 years of in-house engineering. Version 6 introduced a redesigned user interface, a multi-tenant Community concept for managing distinct learning audiences, role-based Access Management, free attributes for flexible data modeling, and a Webservices API for programmatic LMS management. Integration surface includes Microsoft Teams, LTI, SCORM, SSO/SAML, WebHooks, and an in-house middleware layer called 'easylearn connect'. Recent additions include AI-powered assessment translation (shipped in version 6.6 in February 2025), AI-assisted authoring for courses combining text, image, and video modalities, a shop integration for e-commerce enrollment flows (2024), and the 'easylearn play' mobile learning app, alongside 2-factor authentication and ISO 27001-aligned security controls.

easylearn's revenue model centers on annual SaaS subscriptions priced per user/seat and per module on a quote basis (pricing is not publicly disclosed), augmented by content licensing for standard courses, professional services for custom content production and implementation, managed hosting in Swiss and German environments, and training services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with localized direct sales teams in Switzerland and Germany, supplemented by a partner network (content partners such as Knowhow!, strategic partner Swiss Infosec for security/GDPR training content, technology integrators, and the Austrian employer WALTER Group as a reference). The customer base spans healthcare (Insel Gruppe, Universitäre Psychiatrische Kliniken Basel, Merian Iselin Klinik, GZF, Kantonsspital Basel-Landschaft, Spital Männedorf, Bethesda's, Belimed), insurance (CONCORDIA, SWICA, GVB), transportation (PostAuto, with training of 4500+ bus drivers), manufacturing and industrial (KONE, Amcor, fenaco, Wander AG, Sprüngli, SHW Brake Systems, Gilgen Door Systems), cooperative/retail (Transgourmet, PLANA, Strüby), and government/education (Kantonspolizei Basel-Stadt, Biozentrum of the University of Basel, Young Enterprise Switzerland), with no public revenue, ARR, pricing, or ownership disclosure.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• 360Learning: 360Learning is a collaborative LMS focused on peer-driven course authoring and AI-augmented learning operations. It overlaps with easylearn on LMS, authoring, and AI-assisted content, and is gaining traction with European mid-market enterprises.

Regional players

• Haufe Akademie: Haufe Akademie is a major German provider of corporate training and learning services with deep DACH roots. While it operates more as a training content and services provider, it competes with easylearn's pre-built content library and learning services offerings in the German-speaking market.

Direct peers

• TalentLMS: TalentLMS is a cloud LMS targeting SMB and mid-market customers with transparent self-serve pricing. It competes with easylearn for the same corporate training use cases at the smaller end of the market, where easylearn's quote-based sales motion is comparatively heavy.
• Moodle: Moodle is the dominant open-source LMS globally and competes head-on with easylearn in the academic and corporate LMS category. Both platforms offer modular LMS capabilities, support SCORM/LTI standards, and serve enterprise training use cases; easylearn's proprietary cloud-hosted model is positioned as the higher-touch, European-sovereign alternative.
• Docebo: Docebo is an AI-focused cloud LMS used by mid-market and enterprise customers for employee and partner training. It competes directly with easylearn on the core LMS, e-Learning delivery, and AI-augmented content workflows, and is significantly larger and globally distributed.
• iSpring Solutions: iSpring offers an LMS platform tightly integrated with its flagship authoring tool, mirroring easylearn's combination of LMS plus built-in Authoring. Both vendors target corporate training teams that need in-platform content creation without external tooling.

Broad incumbents

• Workday Learning: Workday Learning is the LMS module of the Workday HCM suite, increasingly embedded in large enterprise HR tech stacks. It competes with easylearn for the same enterprise training budgets, leveraging Workday's dominant position with large customers.
• SAP Litmos: SAP Litmos is a cloud LMS bundled into the SAP ecosystem targeting enterprise compliance and sales enablement training. It overlaps with easylearn's core LMS and compliance training use cases, with the strategic advantage of SAP enterprise distribution.
• Skillsoft: Skillsoft is a broad learning and talent development incumbent offering LMS, content, and compliance training at enterprise scale. It overlaps with easylearn on LMS and compliance-driven training, particularly for large multinational customers.
• Cornerstone OnDemand: Cornerstone is a large incumbent talent and learning suite widely deployed at enterprise scale. It competes with easylearn on the LMS and learning experience layers, often as part of broader HR/talent suites that smaller, focused LMS vendors must displace in enterprise evaluations.
