SoftDeCC (TCmanager LMS): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

SoftDeCC LMS is a learning management system for delivering, managing and tracking digital learning content. It supports learning paths, courses, tests and certificates, and combines e-learning, classroom training, webinars and blended learning with automated workflows, secure learning portals and open interfaces. SoftDeCC also offers TCmanager Core, a central platform for planning, organising and managing learning and development processes, budgets, programmes and reports. The LMS is available as a SaaS cloud service, on-premises or as a hybrid.

SoftDeCC describes its software as made in Germany and GDPR-compliant and cites ISO 27001; these are the vendor's own statements. The company is based in Munich. The software is not open source. Because cloud, on-premises and hybrid set-ups are all possible, a European organisation can choose how much control it wants. The product page does not state where the cloud service is hosted, so have the location confirmed before considering a SaaS subscription.
