When you want advice you can trust from learning tech blogs, where do you go? If you dismiss LMS vendor content, it's time to take a closer look. Here's why.

 These "all purpose" LMS platforms are used to deliver, support and measure online and classroom training programs for any combination of employees, channel partners, dealers, franchisees, customers, business prospects and others.

Organizations can sell proprietary premium content to their users, and also to any organization in the Knoitall ecosystem.

Selling accredited educational content to members and managing their other learning activities generates non-dues revenue -- which is increasingly important for association success.

If you have a room full of administrators, a more in-depth click, click, click approach works great, but that approach is shunned by most executive audiences who are more influenced by the bigger picture.

Extended enterprise learning is defined as any type of education a corporation provides to external audiences – including customers, prospects, channel partners such as dealers, franchisees, distributors and others.

Inexplicably, vendors make the most prose mistakes in these two areas of their proposals, yet these are the sections that every executive spends the most time reviewing. 

It is foolish to pay more than you have to and get nothing in return but it is impossible to know if you are overpaying if you first don't define your LMS requirements. 

Making sure your LMS selection team is on the same page in regards to implementation/configuration needs will allow a buying organization to quickly disqualify many vendor options without the labor of investing a ton of time.

Associations, training companies, corporate channel, customer and other extended enterprise buyers can create any number – hundreds of thousands even – of active ongoing accounts but a buying organization only pays for active usage.
