Who Should Buy This Report?

LMS Buyers in Corporate Training Organizations: There are multiple variations on the corporate LMS. Many focus on employee audiences, with users who need compliance training and talent development. Other platforms focus on non-employees – so-called “extended enterprise” audiences — such as channel partners, dealers, franchises, distributors, and retailers, as well as customers and prospects. No matter what corporate audiences you serve, this report is your best go-to guide.

eLearning Consultants and Custom Training Content Companies: Your customers come to you first with questions about how to replace or upgrade their systems. But it’s impossible to focus on your primary goals while staying up-to-speed on the overwhelming variety of available LMS choices. This report gives you all the insights you need to confidently guide your clients in developing an actionable vendor short list.

LMS Vendors: With 650+ LMS vendors in today’s fluid marketplace, most vendors don’t know where they fit in. This report profiles the types of LMS platforms available, assesses relevant features in detail, and provides vendor comparisons for employee and extended enterprise categories. We’ve also identified the best vendors for each feature group, along with purchasing requirements, so you can benchmark your system with others. For many vendors, this is the first time your LMS is accurately assessed side-by-side with comparable platforms.

HR and Training/Development Professionals: Anyone interested in catching up on recent tectonic shifts in the learning management industry — as well as the rapid rise of extended enterprise learning — will find this an invaluable resource. Want to win a seat at the executive table? Learn how to engage external audiences and transform your training cost center into a revenue-based operation.
