A smooth integration of a new LMS
In a record-time implementation of a Totara platform, Banco Patagonia moved training records for more than 3,300 users with 29,629 completed learning data entries.
The challenge
A flexible solution
Tasked with developing and training 3000 employees in their branches, Banco Patagonia’s L&D team was looking for a flexible and efficient platform to manage the organization’s learning journey. While spreading out the project requirements, one of the critical aspects of the future LMS was the dynamic integration with the human resources system to migrate data and records for thousands of users. At Mindtools Kineo, support throughout the project is part of our DNA and this implementation would require great teamwork within many different areas of the bank.
The solution
Intuitive learning
From day one, Developers, Designers, and Solutions Consultants worked with Banco Patagonia’s teams to build a branded platform. The intuitive interface brings users closer to a great and memorable learning experience. For the L&D team, Totara Learn allows them to manage this learning content with an efficient system, empowered by the SAML2 plugin, together with SSO functionality.
Users in any branch or corporate office can now access learning experiences from their control panels.
Dynamic integration
Totara Learn’s flexibility was a key advantage for one of Banco Patagonia’s main requirements, integrating the platform with the human resources system. Relying on the HR Sync functionality, we developed a specific script to ensure that the files were in the necessary format and seamlessly sync both databases. We created custom user profile fields and sources to share this information, showcasing perhaps one of Totara’s most powerful tools: bespoke reporting, allowing the L&D team to focus on the specific needs of each department.
The result
Migration made easy
Migrating this amount of data for thousands of users, including key information like course completion and scores, is always a sensitive process. Totara’s Register of Previous Learning tool expedited this daunting task. There are dashboards for each department with different leaders and employee profiles. A priceless feature for the L&D department includes the possibility of keeping a record of external training carried out by employees, something that was largely automated with the External Training Evidence functionality.
