We've spent 15+ years helping people learn at work.
We're Neovation, the team behind SmarterU LMS and OttoLearn. For all those years we've watched smart people waste hours hunting for answers their company already had. JoySuite is our fix: everything 500+ companies have taught us, built into one platform.
One team, with one stubborn belief: work and learning belong together.
Neovation started in Winnipeg, Canada, and grew into one of North America's larger custom eLearning shops. Along the way we built an LMS trusted by compliance-heavy industries, a microlearning platform that makes training actually stick, and thousands of hours of custom courses. JoySuite is the next act: connecting all of that knowledge to the people who need it, the moment they need it.

SmarterU LMS
Where it all started. Structured training, tracking, and audit-ready certainty for industries where "probably trained" isn't good enough.
Microlearning · since 2018
OttoLearn
Training that sticks. Adaptive microlearning that reinforces knowledge a few minutes a day, so it's still there when it matters.
Custom courses & services
Neovation Custom Learning
Our studio side. Custom course design, conversions, and the hands-on consulting muscle behind hundreds of client projects.
Knowledge & learning · today
JoySuite
Everything we've learned, in one platform: trusted answers, real training, and hard-won expertise your team won't lose.
Joy doesn't replace SmarterU, or whatever LMS you run today. We built them to work together, because rip-and-replace is nobody's idea of a good year.

What we believe
One knowledge base
We've watched companies maintain the same answer in five places and get it wrong in three. Update a document once, and the answers, courses, and reports built on it stay current.
Runs alongside what you already have
Migrations are disruptive, so Joy doesn't ask for one. It works with the LMS and systems you already trust, including our own SmarterU.
Grounded and governed
AI you bring to work has to earn its keep. Answers come only from sources you approve, cited when you want them, because "trust me" isn't a compliance strategy.
Built for the people doing the work
Unlimited users, with no charge per seat. The person on the shop floor deserves the same answers as the person in the corner office.
The humans behind Joy. No outsourced black box here: Joy is designed, built, and supported by the same Neovation team that runs SmarterU and OttoLearn every day.
Dan founded Neovation and has spent his career chasing one question: why is it so hard for people to find what their own company already knows? Decades of learning technology later, JoySuite is his best answer yet.
Connect on LinkedIn →Behind Joy is the same team that builds and supports SmarterU and OttoLearn for the 500+ companies that trust us: real people who have run workplace learning for real organizations, at scale.
Winnipeg-born, working across Canada and beyond: developers, designers, and learning nerds who still answer their own support tickets.
