Custom-built, capability-driven, and ready to grow with your organisation
Kitney’s Learning Management Systems (LMS) are built in SharePoint using your organisation’s existing Microsoft 365 licences, offering a smart, cost-effective alternative to traditional LMS software. Whether integrated with your intranet, online management system, or used as a standalone solution, our LMS is designed to support onboarding, compliance, and professional development.

We also provide SharePoint training and support to build your internal capability, so your team can confidently manage and evolve the LMS over time.
