The Challenge

Our client is a nonprofit organization that provides research, training, certification, and thought leadership events for the financial services industry. The client’s members include national and global banks, credit unions, and mortgage and auto loan providers. Over 250,000 financial services individuals at more than 1,500 financial services organizations take compliance and training courses through the learning management system (LMS) each year.

The thing is, this LMS had begun to slow business innovation. Its legacy tech started to handcuff them, preventing them from enhancing the product in ways that would differentiate them from competitors. They knew they needed a new solution and emphasized that differentiating themselves through their customer experience would be crucial.

“Launch didn’t just modernize our LMS—they helped us reinvent it as a high-growth digital product.”

The Solution

The client asked Launch to assess the feasibility of building a new LMS experience utilizing open-source software, provide recommendations, and then implement a future state product operating model. This included:

  • Implementation and oversight of future state requirements, architecture, user experience, application code, and quality assurance
  • Migration strategy for moving customers from old to new platform
  • Training the internal team to continue enhancements after Launch’s involvement
  • Execution of a migration approach that minimizes risk of customer attrition

The Results

The results exceeded expectations:

  • 30% increase in annual sales, driven by a superior platform experience
  • Customer retention improved, with enhanced loyalty and engagement
  • Zero disruption during migration, thanks to careful phasing and planning
  • Sustainable growth model, supported by internal team training and Agile release cycles
  • A legacy line of business became a digital product organization, now central to the company’s overall revenue

The client now operates with the mindset and mechanics of a digital product company—poised for continued innovation, customer growth, and market leadership.
