I’ve been researching the global LMS marketplace for over 15 years — first as an LMS sales guy for 13 years and now as the lead learning technology analyst at Talented Learning. In the last 20 months, I have personally reviewed 92 LMS solutions and I have a whole list I’m trying to get to.
I’m not talking about a cursory website drive-by review either. I spend a lot of time with each vendor and learn about their business and industry focus, customers, history and success stories before I ever take a look at the product. In many cases, I even interview their customers about how they are using training and technology for their business.
For my paying day job, I help LMS buyers define what they really need and then help find the best LMS for them.
I’ve taken a good chunk of all that data, effort and experience and built it into Talented Learning’s fall webinar series. We’ve created 5 new webinars on all things LMS and extended enterprise. I think all are extremely interesting, engaging and insightful, but I could be biased. We’re ending the series with the 1st Annual Talented Learning LMS Vendors Awards Ceremony.
I hope to see you at one or all!
