CYPHER AI 360

Traditional way vs. CYPHER’s approach

Association members who hold credentials are more likely to participate in more association events, be a leader in their field, be economically more successful, be retained as members, and comply with standard practices.

Creating a higher-quality and larger swath of course offerings doesn’t just benefit your members, it also benefits your organization. In fact, the more difficult it is to retain a sponsored credential, the higher the perceived legitimacy of the association to be a voice for members to the government.

What if there was a way to cut the cost of course development and delivery while ensuring your members have access to high-quality courses from anywhere in the world? A way to develop, promote, and deliver training on the same platform?

The CYPHER platform unifies Learning Management System (LMS), Learning Experience Platform (LXP), and content development to streamline development and delivery, and give you more time to focus on growing your membership and your impact.

Traditional way

Conventional reporting that provide basic and rudimentary data

Insightful analytics to track business impact and learner progress to improve your offerings

Time-consuming and manual course creation

Automation and AI-powered tools cut course creation to minutes - allowing you to scale learning at the pace of your association’s growth

Manual and outdated assessments

Adaptive assessments tagged to specific knowledge help you understand what the learner knows or doesn’t know
