Dante alternativeMoving from Dante is the easy part.
Cademy is an alternative to Dante for training providers who want course booking, training management, an LMS and a training CRM in one system. There is a free plan, and your Dante data moves with you.

Everything with a date on it. Especially the dates.
Migrations go wrong when history is left behind. We move the history, not just the list.
Titles, prices, formats and settings. Video and SCORM upload straight into the outline.
Future dates with venue, trainer and capacity, bookable on day one. Past dates for the records.
Every contact with their organisation and tags.
Who booked what, imported as bookings and orders.
Who attended what, so the history is on the record from day one.
The old widget comes off, the Cademy snippet goes on. Same pages, live dates.
Five working days, one person on our side who knows your setup.
The plan for a typical provider. Larger migrations get a scoped one, in the same shape.
