Usually in several stages. The question "what should and could be achieved with the new system?" is asked at the beginning.

Subsequently, we will shed light on the educational offering, and how it can and should be digitally expanded? Finally, how does the new system fit with the digital competencies of the users and the existing system landscape?

From this we derive the components of the implementation:

• System configuration
• Model courses as a template
• Trainings for users
• Scope of the Service Package
• Development planning

School administrators can reduce copying and media costs, simplify administrative processes, and make important data such as grades or absences available to learners electronically.

The structured design of a learning platform simplifies quality assurance, ensures up-to-date teaching content and enables synergies to be exploited within the school and other institutes.

Teachers can easily create multimedia learning content and send it to their classes. Assessing the results of tasks, self-tests and even exams is easier; grading keys and assessment grids can be stored and conveniently applied.

A learning platform is the ideal place to prepare for and follow up on face-to-face lessons. In online lessons, a learning environment reduces the workload because the teacher can use it to release interactive learning content and thus better rhythmize the lessons in front of the camera.
Professional learning platforms enable digital didactic enrichment with tools such as group workspaces, forums, libraries, and ePortfolios. Teachers can also exchange information with related user groups such as subject teachers or parents via the platform.

Learners work in an engaging learning environment that also works perfectly on their favorite medium - the smartphone - thus increasing their motivation to learn. They can work through the material at their own pace and even deepen it independently as needed. By means of self-tests, learners assess their own progress ever more reliably and thus take responsibility for their own learning success.

The collaboration and communication possibilities of a modern learning environment also train digital skills that are required in the professional world.

Moodle or Openolat are open source software that are developed by the community free of charge. Their maintenance can be costly and often requires internal IT resources. These software architectures are developed iteratively, often resulting in a suboptimal user experience.

CYPHER for business and CYPHER for academia are so-called software as a service products, they are always up to date and often anticipate the needs of their users. Thanks to dedicated development teams, attention is constantly paid to the most modern user experience and powerful data structure. This gives users access to an extensive catalog of functions that will also meet their growing expectations.

In this way, education providers are also positioning themselves in the digital education space, which has become enormously important in recent months. Whereas in the 'real' world, central location and attractive spaces are key to a school's success, in the digital learning space it's positive user experiences, mobile-friendliness and ease of use.

An ILP (Intelligent Learning Platform) forms the digital backbone of a modern school and thus the basis for the further development of course offerings revolving around blended and micro-learning as well as location-independent learning. At the same time, schools are gearing up for new tasks such as digital learning content creation or digital skills tracking. Modern learning platforms offer eCommerce so that courses, learning content, and learning paths can be offered and promoted via digital marketing.
