Create Your LMS Shortlist – LMS Buying Process Step 4

So, you have done your initial LMS vendor research, sold your LMS business case internally and defined your LMS reequipments. Excellent. Now you are finally ready to identify the top 4 LMS solutions that meet and exceed your requirements and needs. It’s time to create your LMS shortlist.

So Many Vendors, So Little Time

There are so many LMS vendors and so much publicly available information, it’s impossible to research all. Adding to the challenge, every LMS buying organization only has so much time to select an LMS partner before the go-live date they have committed to in their business case starts to loom. Many waste that time trying to qualify sometime dozens of vendor solutions one-by-one, then run out of time, make a hasty selection and live to regret it.

Attempting to individually qualify each vendor and their solution will take too much time and increase the likelihood that you’ll make a poor decision. You may also default to buying a popular LMS cloud software or platform and paying way too much, when what you need is a more specialized, cost-efficient solution that tightly supports your use case and requirements.

A better strategy is to start early. Then rapidly, yet accurately, identify a qualified shortlist of LMS vendor options. Invest your limited LMS selection time deeply evaluating and shortlist of qualified options.
