Case Study: Rose State College achieves rapid cloud migration and reduced costs with D2L Brightspace

Move from On-Premise to the Cloud Accelerates the Transition to a Next-Generation Learning Experience

Rose State College, a post-secondary institution and longtime Brightspace user, needed to move beyond a limited, self-hosted LMS to support campus-wide growth and deeper use of analytics. The college faced the prospect of nearly doubling infrastructure investment and lengthy vendor queues to add advanced analytics and SIS integrations, so it sought a faster, more scalable way to expand its learning platform.

Working with D2L Professional Services, Rose State migrated from on-premise Brightspace to D2L’s managed cloud in just five weeks using advisory, implementation, and managed cloud services. The move delivered cost-competitive hosting with no major issues, enabled Brightspace Advanced Analytics and outcome-aligned reporting, and laid a scalable foundation for broader, data-driven improvements to teaching and learning.
