Balanita services
One training system. Three ways to work with Balanita.
Balanita Managed LMS is split into three services, so you see exactly what you pay for and choose only what your organisation needs. Launch builds the platform once. Manage runs it every month. Server Management looks after the infrastructure you own. Each can be bought alone or combined.
Which service you need depends on where you are starting
A new build needs Launch first. An existing LMS can move straight to Manage or Server Management. Nothing forces you to take all three.
Starting from scratch
Balanita Launch first. You decide on Manage and Server Management at handover.

Balanita Server Management on its own, with no minimum term.
Explore Server ManagementHow the three services differ
Each service has a different job, billing model and commitment. Launch is a one-time project priced by scope. Manage and Server Management are monthly, priced by how many people actually log in.

What each service does
Balanita does not sell one bundle with everything blended together. Each task sits in exactly one service. If a task does not fit any of them, it is scoped and quoted separately, never added quietly.

Frequently asked questions
Can we buy just one of these services?
Yes. All three can be bought alone. Manage and Server Management are often taken together, but neither requires the other.
Do we need Launch if we already have an LMS?
No. Balanita Manage can take over an existing LMS after a free platform audit covering configuration, security, platform health and learner data.
What if our needs do not fit any of these cleanly?
It is scoped and quoted separately before any work starts. Nothing is added quietly to a monthly service.
Not sure which service fits?
A free 30-minute discovery call sorts it out in one conversation. Bring your current situation, whether nothing is built yet or someone else built your LMS, and we will tell you which service applies.
