Why did The Umdenken decide to built their own eLearning system?
The Umdenken developed its own eLearning platform, U Learn, because existing third-party platforms couldn’t meet the level of customisation and control required by enterprise software vendors. Off-the-shelf solutions often force compromises-particularly around learning structure, workflow logic and user experience-all of which are critical when delivering targeted enablement for Presales and Sales teams. The rigidity of third-party platforms also limits how dashboards can be configured, often locking organisations into static reporting frameworks that don’t reflect the real needs of performance-driven teams.
By building U Learn in-house, we’ve created a platform specifically designed for the unique needs of IT Professionals. It offers the flexibility to map learning across entire departments, integrate with enterprise systems, and deliver role-specific dashboards that measure skill progression, engagement, and business impact. This tailored approach ensures that learning isn’t just delivered-it’s translated into measurable outcomes.
