What Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Student Information Systems (SIS) Are Used in Conjunction?

Learning Management Systems Student Information Systems
LMS and SIS used in Conjunction - LisTedTECH

We use this chord diagram to show the movement in the LMS market – from the old system to the new system. We got great feedback, so we decided to use the same format to represent the relationship between the LMS market and the SIS market. As most of you know, several LMS are out there. We show the top 11 that represents about 95% of the market.

The SIS market is even more crowded. We show the top 12 used by HigherEd institutions.

Each line represents one HigherEd institution. It links the learning management system and its student information system. The data is based on 4,072 institutions for which we have both the active SIS and LMS in our database.

**Updated Note**

The proportions of LMS and SIS are not necessarily representative of market share. We simply took a subset of institutions that had both a SIS and a LMS system listed in our database.

Who Are HigherEd’s Tech Leaders?

This year, I’ve been revisiting some of the classic business books: Blue Ocean Shift, Free, The Innovator’s Dilemma, Zero to One, and of course, Crossing the Chasm. That last one really got me thinking about early adopters. In tech markets, they’re the people (or in HigherEd, the institutions) who are comfortable taking risks, trying something new, and shaping the market ... Who Are HigherEd’s Tech Leaders?  Read More

Anthology’s Chapter 11 Filing: Breaking Up to Refocus

September 2025 marked a major turning point for Anthology, the owner of Blackboard and several other higher education technology platforms. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. after efforts to sell itself or parts of its business outside of court failed. The filing is not a liquidation. Instead, it is a structured reorganization designed to ... Anthology’s Chapter 11 Filing: Breaking Up to Refocus  Read More

Rethinking Market Saturation in EdTech

Market saturation is a concept we often discuss at ListEdTech because it comes up frequently with our clients. Investors want to know if a market still has room to grow, while startups want to understand whether they are entering a space with opportunities or one that is already crowded.
