• 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.

  •  Common logic was flawed -- assuming training professionals and subject matter experts (SMEs) would regularly visit these social "spaces" and interact, keeping content fresh and learner engagement high.

  • Integrating training workflows and data with customer and sales-related data elevates training from a cost center to a profit center, because it helps prove the business value of learning.

  • LMS vendors were never threatened by Skillsoft’s Skillport LMS but now with the SumTotal LMS, it’s a different story.

  • In contrast, the smartest buyers always have a commanding understanding of their business model, their preferred software licensing model and contract structure when they're selecting an LMS or any enterprise software.
