LMS Switching

Key Takeaways:

Switching to GyrusAim solves common legacy LMS issues like high costs, poor support, and inflexibility.

GyrusAim stands out with strong support, transparent pricing, and customer-led innovation.

Delivers powerful enterprise features with a simple user experience and smooth migration.

Purpose-built for compliance, GyrusAim is ideal for highly regulated industries.

If you’re one of the many organizations using mainstream LMS platforms like Cornerstone OnDemand, SAP SuccessFactors, Saba, SumTotal, Litmos, Absorb, Docebo, or Meridian, you’ve likely faced challenges with cost, support, updates, or flexibility. When considering LMS switching, remember that your current system should empower—not restrict—you, especially when handling compliance-heavy training in manufacturing, government, life sciences, or other regulated industries.

At GyrusAim, we’ve heard the same pain points from organizations ready to make a change. Here’s why so many are choosing LMS switching to GyrusAim—and why GyrusAim LMS is emerging as the top choice for organizations demanding more.

You Deserve a Partner, Not a Vendor During Your LMS Switching Journey

Too often, we hear from clients that their previous LMS providers offered lackluster support, long response times, and little customization. This is a primary driver for LMS switching.

With GyrusAim, service isn’t an afterthought—it’s the foundation.

  • A dedicated Customer Success Manager from day one.
  • Real-time implementation support with no outsourced runarounds.
  • Quarterly Customer Council meetings and a live Product Community for shared innovation.

Result: 96% customer satisfaction, best-in-class onboarding, and a support team that actually understands your use case.

Aggressive Pricing That Includes More Than Just the LMS

Tired of being nickel-and-dimed for every feature, upgrade, or support ticket? Transparent pricing is a key factor in successful LMS switching.

GyrusAim pricing is straightforward, affordable, and includes more:

  • SCORM, xAPI, and AICC compliance out-of-the-box.
  • 21 CFR Part 11 and FedRAMP-ready infrastructure.
  • Bundled curated content options via our content partners.
  • No surprise charges for integrations or branding.


We’ll beat most enterprise LMS pricing models—and we’ll prove it with a customized quote, making your LMS switching decision easier.

Enterprise Features Without Enterprise Complexity

You need features that work, not bells and whistles that gather dust. When contemplating LMS switching, look for real utility.

GyrusAim offers:

  • Robust compliance tracking and reporting.
  • Role-based dashboards for learners, managers, and admins.
  • Built-in observation checklists, quizzes, certifications, and blended learning.
  • Seamless integration with Office 365, Azure AD, Teams, Zoom, Salesforce, and more.
  • Custom workflows for approval, travel, scheduling, certificates, and SF-182 compliance.


And yes, mobile-first design, multilingual support, and accessibility are built-in—not add-ons.

Fast, Painless Implementation: Simplifying Your LMS Switching

Many organizations stay stuck with outdated systems because they’re afraid of the switch. We understand the hurdles of LMS switching.

Here’s how we make it easy:

  • A dedicated implementation team with proven data migration tools.
  • Typical go-live in 4–8 weeks (not months).
  • Pre-built connectors to common HRIS, CRM, and content tools.
  • Parallel run options for high-risk industries to ensure 0% disruption.


Your transition from Cornerstone or any other legacy LMS will be seamless—we’ve done countless LMS switching projects successfully.

Frequent Updates, Customer-Led Roadmap for Continuous Improvement

Legacy LMS vendors often delay updates or ignore customer input, which can frustrate organizations considering LMS switching. That’s not how we operate.

With GyrusAim:

  • Quarterly feature releases driven by customer feedback.
  • Transparent product roadmap shared with all clients.
  • Opportunity to co-design features via our Customer Council.


We’re agile, responsive, and focused on real-world training challenges—not fluff.

Purpose-Built for Compliance-Driven Industries

If you operate in manufacturing, defense, healthcare, life sciences, or the public sector, you know that compliance is non-negotiable. This is a critical factor when contemplating LMS switching.

GyrusAim supports:

  • CFR 21 Part 11 compliance
  • NIST 800-53 and 800-171 alignment
  • FedRAMP-Authorized hosting (Microsoft Azure)
  • Support for EHRI and SF-182 forms
  • Secure audit trails and robust validation plans


Whether you’re managing FDA audits, DoD mandates, or ISO 9001 compliance, we’re built for it, making your LMS switching decision a move towards greater assurance.

Final Word: Don’t Just Switch. Upgrade.

The LMS you choose affects your entire workforce’s learning experience, your compliance posture, and your operational agility. If you’ve outgrown systems like Cornerstone, Docebo, SAP SuccessFactors, or Saba, it’s time to consider a platform that’s modern, responsive, and ready to grow with you. Make your LMS switching a strategic upgrade.
