Summary

getAbstract, the world’s leading provider of verified knowledge and bite-sized learning content, partnered with StackOne to turn a mounting LMS-integration backlog into a competitive advantage. By replacing one-off SCORM packages with StackOne’s unified, real-time API, getAbstract has rolled out deep, enterprise-grade integrations, such as Workday Learning and Oracle Learning, in a single week instead of six, unlocking new revenue and accelerating customer onboarding.

We do only one integration, and your system connects with the desired LMS. It reduces the complexity and the workload enormously for us.

Company Overview

getAbstract, founded in Switzerland and operating globally for over 25 years, delivers verified expert knowledge to help organizations and individuals grow faster and perform better. With 800+ publisher partnerships, it offers a unique library of 47,000+ business insights from books, articles, podcasts, and videos in easy-to-access formats. Today, getAbstract powers learning programs, business applications, and AI agents — including Microsoft 365 Copilot — enabling users to integrate trustworthy, actionable knowledge into their daily workflows, and AI solutions.

The Integration Challenge

As getAbstract’s B2B footprint accelerated, customers no longer wanted flat SCORM packages. Instead, they expected the company’s 50,000-asset library to appear natively inside whatever LMS or LXP they already used, complete with search, usage analytics and real-time completion data. Every sales call began with, “Do you integrate with our platform?” and the list of required connectors ballooned into the hundreds. Building and maintaining one-off APIs for each system was stretching a lean engineering team, risking lost deals and renewals as enterprise clients migrated to modern platforms like Workday and Oracle Learning.

Key hurdles

1. Fragmented LMS landscape: 100-plus learning platforms make one-to-one API builds unsustainable.
2. Outdated SCORM workflow: static SCORM files couldn’t support modern search, reporting or real-time completion data.
3. Limited engineering bandwidth: each custom integration took 4-6 weeks of pure dev time and up to 6 months end-to-end.

getAbstract needed a single, future-proof gateway to any LMS, without diverting engineers from product innovation.

Integrations are really important — extremely important — for us. Customers need our learning material in their own LMS so they can tailor it to their needs.

Why getAbstract Chose StackOne

getAbstract chose StackOne because a single, co-designed API could deliver deep LMS integrations in one week instead of six, cover any platform on demand and free engineers to innovate on the core Product roadmap.

Agility & Speed

StackOne’s unified API cut build time from six weeks to one week — even minutes for simple enablement

^“
Now we can do it within one week…the heavy work is already done on StackOne.

Technical Expertise

The StackOne team co-designed the LMS data model with getAbstract, ensuring every client field and endpoint was covered.

^“
We were able to co-design this API and the clients’ needs were covered 100%. That was fantastic.

Focus on Core Innovation

By off-loading integration heavy lifting, getAbstract’s engineers now focus on new content formats and social-learning products instead of infrastructure.

We save a lot of time and complexity because the heavy work is on StackOne.

Onboarding Experience

getAbstract’s onboarding with StackOne was a fast, agile collaboration that delivered value within the very first week.

• Weekly agile sprints: direct “developer-to-developer” Slack channel with StackOne kept momentum high.
• Configuration over code: Workday Learning went live first, followed quickly by Oracle Learning—a “big win” for priority accounts.
• Responsive support: Custom completion-tracking endpoints and usage-metric hooks were added within days to satisfy enterprise reporting demands.

^“
That’s how I see agile development—you meet every week, discuss, find a solution, and deliver what’s expected.

The Results

The collaboration cut integration delivery to one week, brought five enterprise customers live and secured new deals by meeting complex Workday and Oracle requirements.

Before StackOne

• Avg. dev time per integration = 4-6 weeks
• Customers live on new integrations = 0
• Engineering focus = Custom LMS connectors

After StackOne

• Avg. dev time per integration = 1 week
• Customers live on new integrations = 5 in production, 5 in development
• Engineering focus = Core product & new learning experiences

Outcomes

• Faster deal cycles & renewals: “A big win” — Workday and Oracle integrations secured high-value enterprise contracts.
• Real-time insight: completion data flows back instantly, enabling richer ROI dashboards for L&D teams.
• Scalable foundation: one integration unlocks hundreds of potential LMS endpoints as demand grows.

Next Steps

getAbstract and StackOne will deepen existing integrations, add advanced analytics endpoints and extend coverage to additional LXPs, ensuring that the best is yet to come!
