extended enterprise

An extended enterprise LMS is designed from the ground up to sell content to individuals, organizations and even through reseller networks. What should you expect from LMS ecommerce functionality?

I'm beginning to think that an astonishing number of L&D practitioners aren't paying attention to today’s most promising organizational learning trend.

As fiercely independent consultants, we focus on one goal – to help enterprise LMS buyers find the best solution for their needs. Here's our best advice...

Businesses are interested in developing measurable learning initiatives so they can evaluate outcomes and compare their value with other priorities.

Going forward, it's unlikely that LXP/LEP platforms will displace full-fledged learning systems; there's no incentive for LXP/LEP vendors to add complex compliance and extended enterprise functionality to their solutions.

Despite competitive pressure to keep price points lower, we expect licensing levels to continue drifting upwards, as vendors attempt to demonstrate value-add that differentiates their offerings.

If training departments don't step up, extended enterprise learning sponsors move forward on their own -- often duplicating technology, content and effort.

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

The LMS Almanac defines corporate LMS market trends, types of corporate LMSs, business uses, feature and functions, hosting models, license models, service and support models, return on investment and provides real-life examples of all.

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.
