Microsoft LMS Integration - Paradiso LMS for Microsoft 365

Honest comparison

Microsoft Teams alone vs
Paradiso + Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a great place to communicate and collaborate. It’s not a learning management system. Here’s where the gap shows up when you try to run real training programs through Teams alone – and where an LMS for Microsoft Teams like Paradiso changes the picture.

Beyond native

What a Real Microsoft LMS Integration Adds on Top of Microsoft 365

Native Microsoft 365 features stop where training begins. Paradiso’s Microsoft LMS platform layers these capabilities on top so L&D, IT, and Security can ship enterprise training programs without custom development or third-party connectors.

SSO with Microsoft Entra ID

Single sign-on with Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) using SAML 2.0 or OIDC. One login, zero friction, full audit trail.

SCIM Provisioning

Auto-provision and de-provision users from Entra ID groups. No more orphan accounts when someone leaves.

Hierarchy Sync

Replicate Entra ID organizational units inside Paradiso so reporting and visibility mirror your org chart.

Embed LMS Anywhere

Drop Paradiso course blocks into SharePoint pages and Teams tabs. No iframe hacks, no engineering tickets.

Content Repository

Pull files from OneDrive and SharePoint into courses. Always-current versions, no duplication, no broken links.

Six native integrations

Six Microsoft LMS Integrations, Built In

No connector marketplace, no third-party middleware, no per-integration fees. These six Microsoft 365 LMS integrations work out of the box on every Paradiso enterprise plan, including Office 365 LMS integration for legacy tenants still on the older license.

LMS for Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams

Paradiso’s LMS for Microsoft Teams embeds as a Teams tab so learners launch courses without leaving their workspace. Live sessions run as Teams meetings with attendance, recording, and completion auto-logged in the LMS. Channel-level enrollment groups keep training assignments aligned with how teams actually work.

SharePoint LMS

Microsoft SharePoint

Paradiso’s SharePoint LMS integration embeds course blocks directly into SharePoint pages so departmental hubs, intranet portals, and onboarding wikis can launch the right training in context. The SharePoint learning management system experience runs seamlessly in your existing tenant – documents in SharePoint libraries get pulled into courses without copying files, and learners always see the current version.

Microsoft Outlook LMS

Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook LMS integration posts course events directly to learners’ Outlook calendars. Reminders, deadline alerts, and certificate confirmations land in the inbox they actually check. Managers get weekly digests of their team’s training status without logging into the LMS.

OneDrive LMS

Microsoft OneDrive

The OneDrive LMS integration uses your existing OneDrive as the file backend for course resources. Upload once, version forever, and learners always pull the latest copy. Useful for sales playbooks, policy documents, and any content that changes more than once a quarter.

OneNote LMS

Microsoft OneNote

The OneNote LMS integration attaches Class Notebooks to Paradiso courses so each learner gets a private notes section, a collaboration space, and an instructor-only feedback area. Notes sync across devices, making it easy to study on a phone and finish on a laptop.

Microsoft Dynamics LMS

Microsoft Dynamics 365 (CRM and ERP)

Paradiso’s Microsoft Dynamics LMS integration syncs with Dynamics 365 CRM so contact records, account hierarchies, and training history live in one place – ideal for sales enablement, partner training, and customer education programs. The Dynamics ERP integration extends the same approach to internal compliance training tied to job roles and cost centers.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Talk to our team.

Is Microsoft Teams an LMS?

Microsoft Teams is a communication and collaboration tool. It supports live sessions, file sharing, and assignments through Microsoft Teams for Education, but it does not handle the core LMS functions: SCORM/xAPI playback, certification tracking, compliance reporting, multi-language learner paths, or e-commerce. Paradiso adds those capabilities and embeds them directly inside Teams.

Can Microsoft Teams be used for training?

Yes, for live training sessions and basic content sharing. For structured programs (compliance, certification, onboarding, sales enablement), you need an LMS connected to Teams. Paradiso’s integration runs courses, quizzes, and certifications inside Teams tabs so learners get the LMS capability without leaving the Teams interface.

How does LMS integration with Microsoft Teams work?

Paradiso installs as a Teams app. You configure SSO with Microsoft Entra ID once. After that, courses appear as Teams tabs, live sessions run as Teams meetings with auto-attendance, and notifications come through the standard Teams chat or activity feed. Setup takes around 30 minutes for a standard tenant.

What about Microsoft SharePoint integration?

Paradiso’s SharePoint integration lets you embed course blocks directly into SharePoint pages and pull documents from SharePoint libraries into courses. Department hubs, intranet portals, and onboarding wikis can launch training in context without sending users to a separate LMS URL.

Is Paradiso's Microsoft 365 integration secure?

Paradiso is SOC 2 Type II certified and ISO 27001 compliant. The Microsoft 365 integration uses standard OAuth 2.0 and SAML 2.0, follows least-privilege access principles, and supports SCIM 2.0 for automated provisioning. Security review packs are available on request before signing.

How long does it take to set up?

A standard Microsoft 365 + Paradiso connection takes 30 to 60 minutes for IT to configure. Full rollout to learners depends on your change management process, but most customers run their first pilot inside two weeks.

What does it cost?

Paradiso pricing is based on active learners, not Microsoft seats. The Microsoft 365 integration is included in the standard Paradiso enterprise plan with no separate connector fee. Book a walkthrough for a quote tailored to your headcount and use case.
