Certainly, many LMSs position themselves as "good for anything you need," but the majority have trended intentionally or accidentally towards being "really good at something specific."
LMS implementation is generally much faster, cheaper and easier than it was a decade ago, thanks largely to the massive shift toward cloud-based applications.
The key to success is a process that compares qualified vendors on an apples-to-apples basis, which is why we communicate requirements in a structured request for proposal (RFP).
Continuing education providers offer a broad spectrum of learning experiences -- from in-person classroom sessions, mentoring and on-the-job training to self-paced study in virtual and blended formats.
Here's the most important distinction to keep in mind: Departments that care about educating external audiences are not investing in these programs because compliance rules require it but because these learning programs lead to a direct, measurable business impact.
Unique LMS differentiation is based on varying combinations of the LMS vendor’s experience, services provided, regional focus, industries served, functional capabilities, technical sturdiness, license approach, and ongoing support provided.
