On‑premise course authoring FAQ

What are on-premise authoring tools, and how do they work?

An on-premise authoring tool is locally hosted software that you install directly on your organization’s internal computers or servers. It allows your team to create training courses in-house without depending on cloud services.

How do on-premise authoring tools differ from cloud-based ones?

Cloud authoring tools operate through a web browser and store your content on external servers.

In contrast, our on-premise iSpring Suite desktop authoring software is installed locally, which means all your course files and projects remain within your organization.

Can I use the courses I create with an on-premise authoring tool with my LMS?

The courses you develop using the iSpring Suite on-premise authoring tool can be exported in widely accepted formats like SCORM, xAPI, or AICC. This means you can easily upload them to virtually any learning management system you’re using, or publish them to the on-premise iSpring LMS.

Can I use the iSpring on-premise authoring tool in regulated environments?

With iSpring, you can develop courses entirely offline. This capability is particularly beneficial for creating and distributing content within secure environments such as HIPAA, ITAR, FedRAMP, or NIST, where data security and compliance requirements are strict.

Who benefits most from using on-premise authoring tools?

On-premise authoring tools are especially useful for organizations in regulated industries that need tighter control over their training data and access to sensitive information.
