Our journey so far

Our story began in 2013 at the lunch table of Job and Jeroen’s web design agency, Insyde. A brilliant idea (Jan Thij) and a dream (Jeroen and Job) sparked the creation of Easy LMS. More than ten years later, we’re proud to say we’re here to stay. Explore our timeline to see how our LMS has grown step-by-step into the platform it is today.

2013

Development started

At Job and Jeroen’s company, a software engineer was dedicated to starting the development of what would eventually become Easy LMS.

#1 launch

An online quiz creator for building multiple-choice quizzes, powered by an addictive algorithm.

We welcome our 1st clients

De Telegraaf and Knab, a leading Dutch newspaper and bank, signed up!

2014

Our second and third major launches

To reach a wider audience, we added an online exam builder and assessment tool, complete with the ability to issue certificates.

2015

We became a full LMS

Testing knowledge? Check. Delivering knowledge? Not yet. To help trainers manage the entire learning cycle from one central platform, we introduced an online course builder.

2016

A design overhaul

To deliver the best learning experience and ensure optimal results, we made our interface completely distraction-free for learners.

Additional languages

We made our LMS and website available in multiple languages to ensure that as many people as possible could benefit from an affordable, high-quality tool.

2017

Another big launch

We launched an academy that combines all previous features. A central portal for managing the learning material and assigning it to groups of learners.

More developers needed

The product was growing and evolving, so more development capacity was needed. At Job and Jeroen's web design agency, more and more people were dedicated solely to working on Easy LMS.

2018

#1 target audience shift

We shifted our focus to employee training only, aiming to create an even more effective tool with features that truly matter.

#1 award win

We earned our first Capterra award for best online exam software. Many more followed!

Fully GDPR-compliant

Data privacy has always been a priority, and after the GDPR was introduced in 2018, we worked hard to become fully compliant.

2019

Focus on accessibility

We wanted everyone to be able to use our LMS regardless of their background, location, circumstance, or condition. So we followed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

2020

Self-support in your own language

While our LMS and website were multilingual, the help center — where you can find step-by-step instructions on how to use the product — wasn’t. We fixed that using the power of machine translation.

Easy LMS stands on its own

Originally, Insyde developed Easy LMS, but as the company and product grew, the two started to clash. Insyde was eventually phased out, allowing us to focus full-time on Easy LMS.

2021 - 2022

Makeover time

Our course and exam builder needed a refresh to meet the latest standards.

2023

#2 target audience shift

Through research, we discovered that trainers and consultants (mainly serving SMEs) were our primary users, so we made them our focus.

Breakthrough feature: multiple academies

New target audience, new feature. Trainers can now create as many academies as they need within our tool, training multiple clients simultaneously — without extra time or cost.

2024

ISO certified

After months of hard work, we earned our ISO 27001 certification. This demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards for data availability, integrity, and confidentiality. Your data is safe with us.
