Intellum Company Information

What Intellum Does

Intellum is the enterprise learning system of record for customer, partner, and employee education. Companies use it to run customer academies, partner certifications, and employee training on one platform. They then measure that education against revenue, retention, and product adoption in their own data. Intellum is based in Atlanta and has built learning software since 2000.

The LMS platform is one part of Intellum. The system also includes Evolve for course authoring, three AI agents, and four MCP connectors for Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. Its data tools put learning data in the business's own BI tools and warehouse.

Intellum Products and Capabilities

Intellum's platform includes the LMS, the Evolve authoring tool, three AI agents, four MCP connectors, and data tools. The LMS delivers learning to every audience. The agents help people inside Intellum. The MCP connectors bring the same work into Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. The Data Connector and PubSub feed learning data to a company's BI tools and warehouse.

Intellum's LMS platform

The LMS platform delivers courses, learning paths, certifications, and branded academies. Each audience gets its own permissions, branding, and catalog. A company can run a customer academy, a partner certification program, and employee training in one platform. The LMS also runs instructor-led and virtual sessions with attendance tracking, social feeds and Q&A for learner communities, and gamification with shareable credentials.

Evolve and Evolve MCP

Evolve is Intellum's course authoring tool. Teams build interactive courses together in real time, and changes sync to the LMS platform automatically. Intellum acquired Appitierre, the company that built Evolve, in 2019. With Evolve MCP, authors build and update Evolve courses in plain language from Claude, Gemini, or Copilot, under their Evolve role. Mint Interactive cut its course production time in half with Evolve.

Creator Agent and Creator MCP

Course creators give Creator Agent a goal, an audience, a difficulty level, and up to ten PDF or video files or existing courses. Creator Agent suggests learning objectives first, then a lesson plan, page text, section quizzes, and a final assessment. Creators approve each step, and nothing reaches learners until a creator publishes it. With Creator MCP, creators draft course pages from Claude, Gemini, or Copilot, and the drafts wait in Intellum for review.

Learner Agent and Learner MCP

Learners use Learner Agent to get answers from the courses they can open, with a link back to the lesson. Learner MCP brings the same help into Claude, Gemini, or Copilot, where learners can search the catalog, get lesson explanations, and review assessments.

Manager Agent and Manager MCP

Administrators use Manager Agent to run enrollments, groups, and reports by asking in plain language, inside their own permissions. Through Manager MCP, they enroll people, update users and groups, send communications, and pull reports from Claude, Gemini, or Copilot. The connector shows its plan and waits for the administrator's approval before it changes anything.

How the agents and MCP connectors differ

The agents work inside Intellum's LMS and Evolve. The MCP connectors sit outside Intellum and link the AI tool a person already uses to the platform. Each person signs in with their own Intellum account, so the AI tool reaches only what that person's role allows. Intellum rebuilt its platform over the last two years so every user-facing API is available to agents.

Analytics, Data Connector, and PubSub

Inside Intellum, Intellum Insights dashboards for acquisition, engagement, and completion are on by default. Administrators can also ask Manager Agent questions about learning data in plain language.

The Data Connector, a paid add-on, gives a company's data team the full Intellum dataset in BigQuery, refreshed every hour. Teams query it with custom SQL from Looker, Data Studio, Tableau, Power BI, or any tool that supports BigQuery. They can also move it into their own warehouse, such as Snowflake, with an ETL tool like Airbyte. Databricks connects through a service account in the company's own Google Cloud project. The dataset covers every table on a company's site, including page views, clicks, session time, and scroll depth that in-app reports don't show. Analysts join it to CRM, product, and HR data to compare learning with renewals, pipeline, and performance.

PubSub streams every create, update, and delete on users, courses, enrollments, assessment responses, and purchases to Google Pub/Sub or AWS SNS in near real time. Both tools send data one way, out of Intellum, and the customer's own data engineers build on them. Only an unrestricted administrator can download the Data Connector's access key, and one customer can never see another customer's data.

Integrations

Intellum connects to the identity, content, CRM, conferencing, HR, and data tools a learning program already uses. The Intellum integrations hub lists each integration with how it connects, which way data moves, and who sets it up, so IT can review it before anything switches on.

Salesforce receives Intellum users, activities, and enrollments every night. DISCO uses that connection to track how education affects user adoption and customer retention. For a tool that isn't listed, a company's developers can build on the REST API at no added cost, or Intellum Integration Services can build the connection.

Certifications and assessments

Intellum tracks certifications for every audience with records built to hold up to audit. Course creators can write assessment questions with AI and proctor exams through Honorlock or Safe Exam Browser. Intellum issues Credly badges automatically when learners finish and ties learning to Pearson VUE certification exams. impact.com has awarded more than 3,500 certifications on Intellum, and Gusto has certified 2,000 accountants.

Selling training

Intellum supports one-time course purchases and time-based subscriptions to catalogs, with regional pricing and taxation. Payments run through Stripe, PayPal, CyberSource, Apple Pay, or XVoucher. Credits and training accounts can connect to a company's own billing system.

Implementation and migration

Intellum's services team runs each implementation, including content import, data migration, and configuration, so teams move existing programs without rebuilding them. Existing SCORM, xAPI, and AICC courses run natively in the LMS.

Who Intellum Is Built For

Intellum serves enterprises where education must produce a measurable business result.

Intellum fits best when a company trains more than one audience, runs programs at scale, and measures education in its own data.

Published customers include Gusto, DISCO, impact.com, and Qlik in software, nCino in banking software, Franklin Electric in manufacturing, and Allied Universal and DSI Security Services in security.

Where Intellum may not be the right fit

Intellum may not be the right fit for organizations that only need compliance tracking or that choose mainly on lowest price or fastest setup. It may also not fit a company launching its first learning program or training a small number of learners. Intellum scopes its platform and services for established programs at enterprise scale.

Intellum Pricing

Intellum prices every contract by custom quote. Each quote reflects the scale of the program, the audiences it serves, the products included, and the scope of implementation. Intellum does not publish a price list for the Intellum platform. Buyers receive a quote after a scoping conversation with the Intellum team about their programs and goals.

Intellum Security and Compliance

Intellum's platform is SOC 2 Type II audited annually by an independent CPA firm and supports WCAG 2.1 AA. A third-party attestation confirms its HIPAA safeguards, and Intellum is a certified participant in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, with UK and Swiss coverage. Intellum hosts customer data on AWS in the US, or in Ireland for European customers.

Intellum backs the platform with a 99.9% uptime SLA and 24/7 support. It encrypts data with AES-256 at rest and 256-bit TLS in transit. It processes AI requests in US data centers, third-party models may not train on customer data, and customers own everything they upload. Intellum publishes its security, privacy, and architecture summary, AI Use Policy, service level agreement, and terms of service, and shares its SOC 2 report on request.

Each MCP connector signs in as the person using it, so the AI tool reaches only what that person's role allows. The audit log records every change with the person's name and the connector. The connectors refuse mass deletes and deactivations, cap each request at five changes, and keep billing, SSO, and e-commerce settings out of reach.
