LMS Cloud Migration
From Slow, Unreliable LMS to a Fast, Scalable, Cloud Powered Learning Platform
A Training Provider’s Journey to Better Performance, Higher Uptime & Seamless Student Access
About the Client
A national training provider offering accredited and non accredited courses across business, IT, and community services. Their Learning Management System (LMS) was hosted on an ageing on premise server that struggled to support growing student numbers.
Key Challenges:
- Slow LMS loading times
- Frequent downtime during peak enrolment periods
- Limited scalability
- Poor student experience
- Manual backups and security risks
- No redundancy or disaster recovery
The IT Manager described the situation clearly:
“Our LMS was slowing down our entire organisation. Students were frustrated, and trainers couldn’t rely on the system.”
The provider needed a modern, secure, cloud based LMS environment that could scale with demand.
The Challenges
The Problem: An Outdated LMS Infrastructure Was Holding Back Growth
The LMS was critical to the organisation, but the infrastructure behind it was failing. Students experienced:
- Long loading times
- Random outages
- Failed uploads
- Slow video playback
- Login issues
Trainers experienced:
- Delayed assessment marking
- Difficulty uploading resources
- Inconsistent performance
The organisation needed a solution that would:
- Improve LMS speed
- Increase uptime
- Support more students
- Strengthen security
- Enable remote access
- Reduce IT maintenance
They partnered with Aus NewTechs to migrate their LMS to AWS Cloud.
