Key Outcomes and Performance Gains After LMS Multi-Cloud Migration

Key Outcomes and Performance Gains After LMS Multi-Cloud Migration

The client is a large, multi-campus university providing digital learning experiences to thousands of students across regions. Its primary LMS (Learning Management System) , a central platform for LMS training, student evaluations, and content delivery, was hosted on outdated on-premises infrastructure. With increased demand for online courses and blended learning, the university faced performance limitations, frequent downtime, and scalability challenges. The institution partnered with our cloud migration team to modernize its LMS systems by migrating to the cloud using a robust multi-cloud strategy.
