Perhaps blink.it is already a contender, but some questions are still open. To help you with the decision, we have collected and answered the most common questions from HR managers and L&D professionals:

Question 1: Is blink.it GDPR compliant?

Data security is of course a top priority for companies! With blink.it, you don’t have to worry about that: The handling of all data is of course GDPR compliant. Some of the many measures we take to protect your data, your employees', and your company's data include:

All blink.it employees have completed basic GDPR training on data protection.

A trained data protection officer is responsible for the security and use of personal data at blink.it.

All our platform servers are located in Germany, specifically in Frankfurt am Main. You can read all the details in our data processing agreement (PDF). Additionally, you can find more important tips to consider in companies in the article “Data Protection and E-Learning.”

Question 2: Can I customize the branding?

The appearance of your online courses easily adapts to your company. Possible adjustments include: a custom logo, your own corporate colors, and individual background images.

To ensure everything looks professional in the end, we do not generate the branding automatically, unlike many other tool providers. A professional designer takes care of perfectly implementing your company’s branding on the blink.it platform.

Here you can see two examples from blink.it customers of what custom branding looks like:

Question 3: How quickly can I implement blink.it?

When it comes to software and learning platforms, many HR managers think of lengthy processes: from booking, the entire IT must first be adjusted and adapted. This can take weeks or months, from the decision for a tool until the first live use.

With blink.it, it's much simpler and faster:

From booking, it only takes about one working day until your platform is fully set up. This is mainly because blink.it as software does not need to be installed but is directly accessible in any browser.

Now you can already create courses and content and familiarize yourself with your new platform. Corporate design typically follows within a week. So you can start with blink.it within a week!

Question 4: Can I integrate blink.it into our existing LMS?

Do you already have an LMS and want to use blink.it to create your online courses?

With our newly developed LMS connector, you can easily transfer your blink.it content into your LMS! Your learning progress will, of course, be included. This allows you to use blink.it as a fully integrated learning platform alongside your existing LMS.

For example, you can create an online course on the blink.it platform. You link the course via course link into your existing LMS. Additionally, you can import user data from almost any other system into blink.it and synchronize it.

Or you can connect blink.it with the intranet in your company. Your employees do not have to register separately and can directly access the blink.it course. If your employees complete a blink.it course with a certificate, blink.it can report the completion of the course back to your LMS. This way, you always have all the information in your existing LMS and can still utilize all the advantages of blink.it.

Question 5: Can I use blink.it without an email?

E-Learning without an email address – is that possible? The answer is yes! We want all employees in your company to truly participate in training measures. Often, employees in the factory, in the shop, or in the field do not have their own email address or use accounts outside the corporate network. Therefore, with blink.it, you can:

Register employees using personnel numbers, UIDs, or freely chosen usernames.

Combine registration with SSO or user data synchronization.

Question 6: Is there support in implementing my online courses?

With blink.it, you are not just purchasing a learning platform, but a comprehensive concept for corporate training. Of course, we support our corporate customers at all important points even after the “tool purchase”:

For general questions and minor issues, you can contact our customer support. The support and our developers work closely together to quickly solve any technical difficulties for you.

As a corporate customer, we provide you with a personal Customer Success representative. This person supports you individually in all matters related to the daily use of blink.it to make your online courses in the company as sustainable and successful as possible. This ranges from course design to tips for motivating your employees.
