For the last seven years Liip has been a fully signed up and committed partner of Moodle, an open-source learning management system (LMS) Moodle. Thanks to our engagement in the community, our e-learning experts enjoy an insider's view and are always up to speed on the latest developments. Given our positive experiences with Moodle, Liip decided to enter into a new partnership with Mahara, an e-portfolio system Mahara.


As the only official Moodle and Mahara partner in Switzerland, Liip is the country's leading specialist in e-learning projects. Its most recent success story was the development of a high-availability solution, “Universities Hosting United”, on behalf of the University of Applied Sciences of Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW). What makes this solution so special is that its designed to be expandable, and other universities are already scheduled to migrate to the same system in the future. From the outset, Liip therefore had to ensure that the LMS satisfied the highest requirements in terms of quality, availability, support and scalability. Today, some 17,000 students from various universities use this platform.

The “Universities Hosting United” project reflects the growing interest in e-learning software: a few years ago learning management systems were a niche product; today they are considered business-critical. The quality requirements are therefore extremely high and often too much for a single university to handle alone.

This is why Liip offers Moodle as “Software as a Service” ( SaaS). For a flat fee, our customers benefit not only from a high-availability LMS that is continually updated and offers guaranteed response times, but also from the expertise and know-how of our experienced and diligent e-learning specialists.
