If you're familiar with Talented Learning, you know we're fiercely independent consultants focused on one goal – to help you choose the best extended enterprise LMS for your needs.
We obsess about every facet of the LMS market so our clients can more effectively attract, engage and educate learning audiences of all types – B2B and B2C customers, channel partners and contractors, employees, association members, continuing education students and the public-at-large.
