Integrity ISR, a woman-owned small business founded in 2013, delivers mission-critical training and strategic solutions for U.S. and Allied defense forces. Specializing in Space, C4ISR, and cyber domains, the company ensures operational readiness and strategic decision-making for military and intelligence professionals worldwide.
Integrity ISR launched ISR University in 2019 with the goal of revolutionizing how intelligence and analysis was conducted. It immediately adopted Canvas LMS to aid them in this endeavor, allowing them to scale training, improve accessibility, and support both individual learners and workforce training programs in an increasingly hybrid and remote learning environment.
The Challenge
Integrity ISR originally relied on in-person training, with teams traveling to military bases and partner locations around the world. While this worked well, it also created challenges. Keeping training materials up to date across different locations was difficult, making it hard to ensure every course was taught the same way. It was also a challenge to support remote and hybrid learners, and scheduling across different time zones made things even more complicated. To solve these issues, Integrity ISR looked for a learning management system (LMS) that would make it easier to manage courses, improve collaboration, and offer real-time access to essential learning content.
