The firm had built its CPE and learning stack across three separate tools — LCvista for LMS and compliance, Surgent and LumiQ for professional content. Moving to MYCPE ONE consolidated all of it into one subscription, cut known per-user costs from $867 to $199 a year, freed up half the credential team’s admin time, and brought CPE-approved event and hybrid-event hosting in natively — a capability the firm had been running through a separate events tool.
LCvista handled the LMS, course authoring and CPE compliance tracking. Surgent and LumiQ each supplied additional professional education content. Each tool did its job — but the firm was left managing three relationships, three logins, and no single view of who was actually compliant.
MYCPE ONE brought the firm’s core requirements under one roof, so it no longer depended on a multi-vendor learning stack. The firm also moved its internal training into the platform and worked through the process to make eligible programs CPE-approved — cutting the credential team’s admin time by roughly half.

| TEAM SIZE | LCVISTA + SURGENT + LUMIQ | MYCPE ONE | ANNUAL SAVINGS | 3-YEAR SAVINGS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 users | $43,350 | $9,950 | $33,400 | $100,200 |
| 100 users | $86,700 | $19,900 | $66,800 | $200,400 |
| 250 users | $216,750 | $49,750 | $167,000 | $501,000 |
| 500 users | $433,500 | $99,500 | $334,000 | $1,002,000 |
| 1,000 users | $867,000 | $199,000 | $668,000 | $2,004,000 |
Under the old stack, a course-content question wasn't always something LCvista's support team could resolve directly. A Surgent-specific or LumiQ-specific issue got routed onward to that vendor instead — and the firm's staff waited in someone else's queue to get an answer.
