Choose the right platform, or move cleanly off the wrong one.
Buying a learning management system does not fix a content problem. Most organisations discover this after the purchase, which is when the migration conversation usually starts.
How do you choose an online learning management system?
By starting from the content and the learner journey rather than the feature list. Most LMS comparisons are won by whichever platform has the longest specification, which is a poor predictor of whether the thing will be used.
The questions that matter are who maintains the catalogue, how a change to the product reaches the learner, what reporting the business actually needs, and how many languages it has to hold.
What does an e-learning management system migration involve?
An audit of the existing ecosystem first, then a full map of content and learner flows before anything moves. Julia Mattey worked this way on the Bonjour Sublime migration, which moved 15 e-learning products from WordPress and ActiveCampaign to Kajabi for 5,000 users with zero content loss and minimal downtime.
Module hierarchies, sequencing, drip content, navigation and community features were restructured during the move rather than after it, because migrating a catalogue as-is carries the existing problems onto the new platform.
Which platforms does Julia Mattey work with?
Cornerstone, Kajabi, Moodle and standard SCORM-compliant systems, alongside Articulate Rise and Storyline for the content that sits inside them. On the Roche Diabetes Care programme the catalogue was built in Rise and delivered through Cornerstone across global affiliates.
What this usually includes.
- ✓Platform requirements and selection
- ✓Existing ecosystem audit
- ✓Content and learner flow mapping
- ✓Catalogue and module restructuring
- ✓Migration planning and execution
- ✓SCORM and standards compliance
- ✓Reporting and tracking setup
Where this has been done.
Fifteen e-learning products spread across WordPress and ActiveCampaign, migrated to Kajabi for 5,000 users. Hierarchies, sequencing, drip content and navigation all restructured on the way through.
Read the case study →Training for rapidly evolving HCP-facing software was going out of date faster than the agency model could keep up with. Julia Mattey designed a global blueprint and production process in Articulate Rise, catalogued in Cornerstone.

Read the case study →Common questions.
Can we migrate an LMS without losing content?
Yes, when the content and learner flows are mapped before the migration begins. On the Bonjour Sublime project Julia Mattey moved 15 products from WordPress and ActiveCampaign to Kajabi for 5,000 users with zero content loss and minimal downtime.
What is the difference between an LMS and e-learning content?
The LMS is the platform that hosts, delivers and tracks training. The e-learning is the content and the process that produces it. Buying a platform does not solve a content problem, which is the most common reason organisations end up with an expensive system and training nobody finishes.
Should the course structure change during a migration?
Usually yes. Moving a catalogue unchanged carries the existing problems onto the new platform, and restructuring during the move costs less than running it as a second project afterwards.

Tell me what is not working.
If your training is expensive to maintain, slow to update, or not landing with the people it is for, I can usually tell you fairly quickly whether that is a content problem, a platform problem or a process problem.
