The challenge
Their flagship product, Signify HR, is a comprehensive Talent Management platform designed to enhance HR, performance management, and learning processes. Signify HR is also modular, which enables their customers to implement different modules over time when needed or required. When Signify was ready to update and redesign its platform, they needed a way to have ongoing and reliable support for multiple eLearning standards, not just SCORM. Signify Software also wanted to give its clients greater flexibility in delivering and tracking content.
“The out-of-the-box solution provided by Rustici Software was feature-rich, reliable, and scalable, which allowed us to quickly meet our clients' evolving needs.”
The solution
The implementation of Rustici Engine has been instrumental in modernizing Signify Software’s LMS by replacing an outdated SCORM player and enabling them to support a wide variety of standards, including SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 4th Edition, xAPI, and LTI.
Not only did Rustici Engine answer their standards needs, it also helped solve several additional challenges Signify Software hadn’t fully anticipated. They’ve seen improved reliability and performance across different environments, which has been critical for delivering a seamless learning experience to their clients.
“Rustici Engine has allowed us to stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and standards, something that was extremely challenging with the old player. The time saved on maintenance and updates has enabled our development team to focus on more strategic projects, accelerating innovation and enhancing our product offerings.”
The benefits
Opening up new customers and industries
Rustici Engine supports a broad range of eLearning standards that Signify Software takes advantage of. This ensures greater compatibility with modern eLearning content. Notably, the LTI integration opened up new possibilities and extended their platform’s reach.
Tracking non-standard content with exceptional accuracy
Rustici Engine’s ability to track various content types brought tremendous value. They can now precisely track and analyze diverse learning content. This allows them to create rich, multimedia learning experiences while providing clients with actionable data on content performance.
Decreasing support time and tickets to free up resources
By no longer having to support a legacy player, Rustici Engine helped Signify Software reduce maintenance time. They were able to reallocate development resources to more impactful areas.
Gaining deeper insights into learner data
When Signify Software added xAPI support, they unlocked a wealth of data. They now offer clients detailed reports on learner interactions, including course completion and measuring engagement levels.
“With xAPI support, we can now track users’ content interactions with incredible precision and provide evidence of course completion, which is particularly useful for compliance and certification purposes.”
The results
- Integrating Rustici Engine saved roughly 12 months of development time, freeing up resources to focus on platform innovation.
- Having a multi-standard compliant LMS is attributed to approximately 65% of the customer growth over the past 5 years, with more than 30,000 users now in 2025.
- Improved player reliability and performance across different environments has led to seamless learning experiences while reducing support time.
