Frequently asked questions

What is extended enterprise?

Extended enterprise refers to the network of external audiences connected to your organisation, including franchise partners, dealers, suppliers, contractors and resellers. Extended enterprise training ensures these external groups receive the same knowledge, standards and development as your internal teams.

What is an extended enterprise LMS?

An extended enterprise LMS is a learning management system designed to deliver training to external audiences like franchises, partners and dealers. Unlike a standard LMS built for internal employees, an extended enterprise LMS like Thrive supports multi-tenancy, branded portals, audience-specific access controls and centralised reporting across your entire partner network.

What is the best extended enterprise LMS?

The best extended enterprise LMS platforms combine multi-tenancy, branded portals, access controls and centralised analytics in one system. Thrive is rated highly on G2 and Capterra and is used by organisations like Vodafone, Burger King and Krispy Kreme to train franchise and partner networks at scale. Every feature is included as standard with no add ons.

What extended enterprise LMS features does Thrive include?

Thrive's extended enterprise LMS includes multi-tenancy, branded partner portals, role and location-based access controls, centralised reporting dashboards, pathways, campaigns, AI-powered search with Kiki and mobile access. You can manage multiple brands and audiences from one platform while maintaining full control.

Can an extended enterprise LMS support multiple brands?

Yes. Thrive's extended enterprise platform supports multi-tenancy, so you can create separate branded environments for each franchise group, region or partner network. Each tenant gets its own branded portal, content library and reporting while you maintain central oversight and governance across the entire network.

How do you track training across an extended enterprise?

Extended enterprise software like Thrive provides centralised reporting dashboards that show completion, engagement and compliance status across every franchise group, region and partner network. You can track performance at network level or drill into individual locations, export reports for governance reviews and identify where standards need attention.
