Customized Solutions for Complex Training Processes
Many requirements can be addressed using the configuration options in our software modules—roles, workflows, branding, and languages. However, large companies and corporations in particular regularly encounter requirements that go beyond this: specialized training programs, highly customized processes, or the specific needs of individual stakeholder groups regarding training and professional development—needs that no standard system can address out of the box.
This is exactly where SoftDeCC’s custom development comes in. We develop tailor-made solutions for your specific needs—drawing on our many years of expertise and experience in complex training organizations.

When Individual Development Is the Right Approach
Custom software development is worthwhile if one or more of the following situations apply:
✓
Highly specialized training offerings: Your training portfolio follows a logic that no standard system provides for—such as industry-specific certification levels with unusual interdependencies.
✓
The specific processes of individual stakeholders— such as sales, human resources, the compliance department, and line organizations— place fundamentally different demands on the same learning organization, demands that cannot be met through standard roles.
✓
Complex organizational structures: matrix organizations, multi-level approval hierarchies, or group-specific reporting structures that go beyond the standard configuration.
✓
New features that do not yet exist: Requirements that are not covered by any existing SoftDeCC module and that must be developed as entirely new functionality.
✓
Deep integration into established system landscapes: Connections that go beyond standard interfaces.
Custom Software Development
How SoftDeCC Approaches Custom Development
At SoftDeCC, customized development means close collaboration rather than isolated project execution. We work not only directly with your company, but also with your project partners—consulting firms, agencies, or other external service providers involved in your training project.
Typical procedure:
Requirements Analysis
Joint identification of specific requirements, often in collaboration with your internal stakeholders and external project partners.
Concept
Design a solution that integrates seamlessly into the existing SoftDeCC architecture, rather than creating an isolated, stand-alone solution.
Implementation
Development of custom functionality by the SoftDeCC development team.
Coordination with project partners
Ongoing coordination with clients, even when external consulting firms or agencies are involved in the project.
Quality Assurance & Safety Testing
Before delivery, the developed functionality is tested for functionality, code quality, and security—as part of our ISO 27001-certified processes.
Integration and Testing
Integration of the customized solution into your system environment, including additional testing.
The exact process varies depending on the scope of the project and is finalized in consultation with the client company.
SoftDeCC as a technical partner
Collaboration with Project Partners
Training projects at large companies and corporations rarely operate in isolation—consulting firms are often involved for strategic advice, agencies for content and design, or other external service providers. In these settings, SoftDeCC sees itself as a technical partner that works closely with all project stakeholders, rather than developing a solution in isolation from the overall project.
Who Typically Benefits from Individual Development
✓
Corporations with complex, long-established organizational structures
✓
Large companies with highly specific, industry-specific training needs
✓
Organizations that are already working with consulting firms or agencies on a major L&D transformation project
✓
Companies whose requirements exceed the configuration options of standard products
In most other cases, the extensive configuration options for branding, process automation, and so on are usually sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs on Individual Development
What is the difference between LMS configuration and custom development?
Configuration customizes the standard SoftDeCC product using existing parameters—roles, workflows, branding, and languages. Custom development comes into play when a requirement goes beyond these parameters and requires a truly new development. Details: → Configuration Options
Does SoftDeCC collaborate with our external consultants or agencies on custom development projects?
Yes. In training projects with consulting firms, agencies, or other external service providers, SoftDeCC acts as a technical partner in the overall project and coordinates closely with all parties involved.
For which companies is custom development worthwhile?
This is especially true for large companies and corporate groups with complex organizational structures, highly specific training needs, or requirements that go beyond the configuration options of the standard product.
Will a custom-developed solution remain updateable?
Custom developments are designed to integrate into the existing SoftDeCC architecture rather than creating isolated, stand-alone solutions—this minimizes conflicts with future updates. Details will be discussed during the initial consultation for your specific case.
