Senior Engineers, Accelerated by AI
Our senior-first teams pair experienced engineers with AI-assisted development. With 400+ engineers and AI built into how we deliver, we bring real engineering depth to complex LMS builds. Teams work across time zones, so collaboration stays seamless wherever you're based.Â
Agile and DevOps to Ship Faster
Full Source Code and IP Ownership
You keep control of your LMS after we build it. Complete source code and IP ownership transfer to you at project completion, with NDA protection from day one.
ISO-Certified Quality and Security
Saigon Technology holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification from BSI, backing solid quality and security practices through every stage of development.
14+ Years of Global Delivery
850+ projects delivered for 350+ clients worldwide. That track record carries into complex integration work and education software projects at any scale. Recognized among Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For in Southeast Asia in 2025.
Flexible Engagement Models
Choose from staff augmentation, a dedicated development team, fixed-price, ODC, or build-operate-transfer models. Developer rates range from $22–$46/hour, with AI development from $26–$46/hour.
Start With Less Risk
Start with a 2-week risk-free trial or a PoC to validate your architecture, team fit, and technical approach before committing to full custom LMS development.

Turn Learning Into a Business Capability
Custom LMS development typically ranges from $45,000 to $350,000+, depending on scope, integrations, learner volume, mobile needs, compliance, migration complexity, and AI features.
We assess your specific requirements during discovery and break the project into phases before giving you a final quote.Â
MVP / Pilot. Core course delivery, assessments, basic analytics, single-tenant architecture, and one or two integrations. $45,000 to $90,000.
Mid-Market LMS. Broader functionality, mobile apps, SSO and HRIS integrations, advanced analytics, and learning standards support. $90,000 to $180,000.
Enterprise LMS. Multi-tenant architecture, complex integrations, AI capabilities, multi-region deployment, compliance requirements, and legacy migration. $180,000 to $350,000+.
Development cost is only part of the picture. SaaS platforms often charge per learner, plus extra for integrations, analytics, or API access. Self-hosted platforms skip licensing fees but still need infrastructure, maintenance, and support.
For a custom LMS, your cost is development plus hosting and ongoing feature work. Compare both paths over several years, not just the upfront number, to see the real difference. Our engagement models page covers how we structure LMS projects commercially.
We map your learning goals, workflows, learner personas, and existing systems, then review integrations, data flows, user roles, and compliance needs. You walk away with a defined scope, technical requirements, and a project estimate.Â
We turn learner and admin journeys into wireframes and interactive prototypes, covering course discovery, enrollment, progress tracking, assessments, and admin tools. Accessibility is built in from the start, aligned with WCAG 2.2.
Engineers build in Agile sprints, shipping working software every two weeks. This covers the core platform, user roles, course and content management, assessments, reporting, integrations, and AI features, tested as we go.
QA runs alongside development, not after it. We test functionality, integrations, performance, security, accessibility, and standards like SCORM and xAPI, fixing issues before they pile up.
We set up the production environment, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring. If you're migrating from an existing LMS, we handle data migration and validation too, with a phased rollout to minimize disruption.
After launch, we handle monitoring, security patches, bug fixes, and performance tuning. As your learner base grows, we keep extending the platform, integrations, and learning features.
Custom LMS development builds a learning management system around your organization's workflows, integrations, compliance needs, and AI use cases. Unlike an off-the-shelf platform, it gives you control over the data, architecture, source code, and product roadmap, with flexibility to evolve as your training needs grow.
An LMS (learning management system) is built for structured, admin-led training: courses get assigned, completion gets tracked, and compliance gets reported. An LXP (learning experience platform) works the other way around. Learners choose what to learn, guided by personalized recommendations and content shared by peers, more like self-directed learning than a fixed course path. Most companies use both today: the LMS handles required training and compliance, the LXP keeps people learning and growing on their own.
Yes. AI can be integrated into a custom LMS to support adaptive learning paths, intelligent content recommendations, automated assessment generation, AI-assisted grading, predictive learner analytics, NLP-powered content tagging, and AI tutoring assistants. Depending on the use case, we use technologies such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, spaCy, Whisper, and MLflow to build and manage AI capabilities within the learning platform.
LMS development generally runs $45,000 to $350,000 depending on scope. Off-the-shelf platforms typically charge $5 to $15 per learner per month. The crossover point where development becomes cheaper over five years usually falls between 500 and 1,500 learners.
A focused MVP takes roughly 3 to 5 months from discovery to launch. An enterprise platform with multi-tenancy, deep integrations, and AI capabilities takes 6 to 12 months. Integration count and compliance scope drive the timeline more than feature count.
Yes. We build two-way integrations with HRIS, CRM, ERP, SSO providers, payment gateways, and BI platforms through REST, GraphQL, and webhook-based APIs. Integration scope is mapped during discovery so the effort is priced before the build starts.
