eXact LCMS vs Instancy LCMS

eXact LCMS helps organizations author, manage, reuse, and deliver digital learning content. It combines project coordination with a repository that indexes learning material for reuse or repurposing. Teams can allocate work, set tasks and deadlines, and automate course-production workflows. Collaborative, template-based authoring supports single-source production of SCORM learning objects, lesson notes, and teacher guides. The platform supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 3rd edition, and xAPI, and delivers content through standards-based LMS/LRS systems and other business integrations. It can be hosted or installed on premises behind a firewall. Browser access supports current versions of major browsers, including Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, while the supported server-side operating system is Windows only. APIs cover content and project management, authentication, security, users, and related services. The interface is available in English, French, Italian, and Arabic, with an XLIFF localization engine. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is available.
