Expand your scalable LMS offerings

Create ongoing revenue streams

Implementation projects end. Client relationships don’t have to. Totara supports the full lifecycle of learning operations, which means you can offer services that extend well beyond go-live.

Embed learning across enterprise systems

Totara isn’t an HRIS or collaboration suite. It’s the specialist learning layer you can embed into your clients’ existing systems: HRIS platforms, identity management, content repositories, collaboration tools, and data platforms. Connect to Workday, SAP, Teams, and SharePoint through open APIs, letting you position learning as part of a broader transformation strategy. 

Support global and multi-tenant delivery

Your clients operate across countries and customer bases. Totara handles that complexity. Deploy one platform that serves internal employees, external partners, and retailers and suppliers. Share training content where it makes sense. Keep it separate where it doesn’t. Multi-tenant capability gives you the flexibility you need. 

Reduce course development time with AI

Content creation is time-consuming and expensive. Totara includes AI tools that speed up development whilst maintaining quality. Your teams can produce more content in less time, reducing delivery risk and improving programme timelines.

FAQs

What kind of partner programme does Totara offer?

Our partner programme is designed for GSIs, consulting firms, and resellers who deliver learning platforms as part of their services. You get access to the platform, implementation support, technical resources and a structured model for enterprise delivery. 

We work with partners who maintain multiple LMS platforms in their portfolio, introducing Totara specifically for high-governance, multi-tenant public sector where deep configurability wins. 

How does Totara integrate with existing enterprise systems?

Totara connects with HR systems, identity platforms, collaboration tools and content repositories through open APIs. This allows learning to sit within existing enterprise environments rather than operating as a standalone system. 

Totara is not an HRIS or core HR system, not a content authoring tool, not a full EPR or line-of-business system, and not a general collaboration suite. It hosts and delivers content, tracks completions and compliance, and feeds learning data to the enterprise data platform. 

Does Totara work for regulated industries?

Yes. As a compliance-ready learning vendor, Totara includes enterprise-level compliance tools, certification tracking, audit trails, and competency management built in. It’s commonly used in sectors where training is tied to regulatory requirements, operational standards and audit readiness. 

From recurring assessments to streamlined onboarding, Totara handles all your learning and compliance needs no matter your industry or complexity. It’s particularly suited for defence sector compliance training, secure public sector learning deployments, and regulated environments in healthcare. 

Does Totara support a multi-tenant LMS model?

Yes. Totara includes a secure multi-tenant LMS design that supports complex organisational structures. This makes it suitable as an extended enterprise LMS for delivering training to employees, partners and external networks from a single platform. 

Multi-tenant theming and white-labelling allows you to serve group structures from a single deployment whilst keeping governance centralised. Totara is built for multi-tenant and extended enterprise capability, letting you share training content where it makes sense and keep it separate where it doesn’t. 

How does Totara support broader enterprise system integration services?

Totara’s standards-based APIs enable integration with broader enterprise systems, allowing learning to align with operational platforms and wider technology strategies. The platform uses GraphQL, web services and hooks, SSO, plugins and connectors to integrate with HRIS platforms, identity systems, content platforms, and collaboration tools. It supports SCORM, xAPI, and LTI integration with content libraries. 

What AI features does Totara include?

Totara includes built-in AI tools that support course creation and learner engagement: an AI writing assistant to refine and generate course text, AI image generation within the editor, AI knowledge check-in quizzes created from uploaded resources, and an AI SMART goal assistant within Totara Perform. With GraphQL API framework and an MCP layer, you can also connect Totara to your AI solution of choice. 

Is Totara suitable for public sector?

Yes. Totara is commonly used by government agencies and public sector organisations that require secure learning platforms with strong governance controls.  Deloitte Belgium works with government agencies managing over 500,000 learners using Totara. The platform’s multi-tenant capability and self-hosting options make it particularly suitable for public sector frameworks where standard SaaS platforms don’t meet structural or security requirements. 

How does totara.compare to other enterprise LMS platforms?

Totara is strong when it comes to complexity and configurability, whilst other platforms excel where out of the box “one size fits all” matter more.  

Standard SaaS platforms focus on time to deploy and generally work well for small to mid-sized commercial customers with standard needs. Totara offers deeper configurability for complex compliance, public sector, extended enterprise, and regulated environments. Many GSIs keep multiple LMS platforms in their portfolio, using standard platforms for straightforward deployments and introducing Totara specifically for high-governance or multi-tenant bids where training is mission-critical to operational success.
