Frentix

Frentix is a European software company specializing in e-learning technology. It is best known for developing and maintaining OpenOLAT, an open-source learning management system used by universities, schools, and corporate training programs. The company focuses on providing both the software platform and related services, including installation, customization, hosting, migration, and user training.

OpenOLAT originated as OLAT at the University of Zurich and was continued and extended by Frentix as an open-source platform. The Frentix team develops and coordinates releases, while also engaging with the global OpenOLAT community to incorporate features such as course management, content authoring, assessments, forums and messaging, calendars, and analytics. The system supports standards like SCORM and LTI and offers single sign-on and integration options with institutional identity providers.

Frentix markets additional services around OpenOLAT, including cloud hosting, technical support, data migrations, and consulting for implementation in higher education, schools, and corporate e-learning. The company emphasizes open-source collaboration and transparency in development, while offering enterprise-ready deployments tailored to large institutions.

As a result, Frentix plays a central role in the OpenOLAT ecosystem, balancing community-driven software with commercial services to enable teaching and learning across German-speaking and international markets.
