Training that fits around billable work
In a services business every training hour competes with a billable one. Valamis keeps certifications current, gets new consultants client-ready sooner, and shows you where the skills gaps are before a bid depends on them.
Your partner tier depends on certified headcount
AWS, Microsoft, Cisco and the rest set minimum numbers of certified people for each partner level. Valamis tracks who holds what, when it expires and who is working towards it, so you find out before a renewal rather than after.
Skills management
Learning that fits between projects
Bench time, the gap between engagements and the hour before a client call are when learning actually happens in a services business. Short modules, mobile access and recommendations based on role mean people can use the time they have rather than booking a day they cannot spare.
Answer the skills question in a bid
A client asks how many of your people are certified on the thing they are buying. Skills profiles and certification records sit in one place, so the answer takes a search rather than an email to every practice lead.
Built on open standards
Valamis was one of the first learning platforms built on xAPI, and learning data is still stored that way in a learning record store that is part of the platform. There is an open API, pre-built connectors for HRIS, single sign-on and Microsoft Teams, and an MCP server with published connectors for Copilot and Claude.

Skills that go out of date faster than people update their CVs
A cloud certification from three years ago says less than a project delivered last quarter. Valamis records both: formal certifications with expiry dates, and the skills people actually use, assessed by themselves and by their managers, so a staffing decision is based on something current.

Train the clients, not just the consultants
Handover training is where a good implementation becomes a renewal. Run customer academies in the same platform as internal learning, with separate audiences so clients never see internal material, and certification programs you can charge for if that suits your model.
Extended enterprise trainingHow many of your people are certified?
Certification tracking with expiry dates, skills you can search during a bid, and client training kept separate from internal.
Frequently asked questions
What does an IT services company need an LMS for?
Keeping vendor certifications current, getting new consultants billable sooner, proving skills in a bid, and training clients at handover. In a services business all four tie back to the same thing: whether your people can be put in front of a client.
How does Valamis help with partner certifications?
It records who holds which certification, when each one expires and who is working towards it. Reminders go out before a renewal lapses, so you find out in time rather than when a partner tier review flags it.
Can consultants learn without losing billable hours?
That is the real constraint, and no platform solves it entirely. What helps is short modules, mobile and offline access, and recommendations based on role, so people can use bench time and the gaps between engagements rather than booking a full day.
Can we keep client training separate from internal training?
Yes. Clients, partners and internal teams sit in separate audiences with their own content, branding and reporting. Clients never see internal material, and you keep one set of records across all of it.
How do we answer a skills question in a bid?
Skills profiles and certification records sit in one place and are searchable, so you can answer how many of your people hold a given certification without emailing every practice lead. You can also ask the question through Microsoft Copilot or Claude via our MCP server.
What does Valamis integrate with?
Pre-built connectors for HRIS, single sign-on, Microsoft Teams and the main content libraries, plus an open API. Learning data is stored as xAPI, so it can be exported or queried rather than locked in.
Is our data held in the EU?
Yes. Valamis is a Finnish company and hosts in the EU on Microsoft Azure, with ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and SOC 2 Type II certification. Useful if your own clients ask where their data sits.
What does it cost?
It depends on learner numbers, integrations and migration. The platform, mobile app, authoring tool and standard features are in one contract, so there are fewer separate line items than with a modular quote.
