What are Learning Management Systems?

Learning Management Systems (LMS) are powerful automation tools that deliver, track, coordinate, quantify and otherwise manage all training, education, and certification. Such Learning Management Systems are the foundation of all learning within your organization. Simply put, it’s learning management software that keeps up with employee continuing education, development, e-learning, certification, and any other learning activities. It streamlines administrative tasks and blends with human resources, accounting, and e-commerce to provide one place where learning and training can be quantified, measured, and tracked.

Who is Learning Management Software for?

Companies implement Learning Management Software because they’re committed to continued learning, development, and knowledge transfer for employees and external and internal customers. Knowledge and expertise are a powerful edge in today’s harsh business climate. Learning Management Software isn’t typically for companies with only a handful of employees. Most companies that implement learning management systems are medium-to-large-sized organizations with many users of the system with diverse learning and e-learning activities.

How do Learning Management Systems help me with Employee Development?

Knowledge is power. The more highly trained and highly skilled the employee, the more successful the company. The more highly knowledgeable the customer and client, the stronger their partnership is with your business. Businesses are increasingly focusing on knowledge as an asset for survival in a competitive world. Learning Management Software is required for survival in the training world.

More than Employee Training?

And while keeping up with employee training is a key use of Learning Management Software, it’s by no means the only one. Training and e-learning delivered to partners, customers, suppliers, as well as resellers — anyone needing product knowledge — is easily handled by the LMS. The Learning Management Systems are ready, round-the-clock— and around the world— whenever and wherever the learners need information.

And what about the growing issue of corporate responsibility and accountability? Your customers are watching like never before. Certification, compliance, e-learning and training are automatically documented in Learning Management Systems.

What types of learning can be managed by an LMS?

LMS-managed training may be delivered practically anywhere, any way:

    * E-learning (online training)
    * Classroom / seminars
    * Homestudy (book, CD-ROM)

The system is versatile as well. Companies use an LMS to track all sorts of training: sales courses; to educate clients, customers, and partners; continuing education for managers; computer competency courses; and required certification courses for technical employees. Nearly any type of knowledge transfer, training, learning, or education lends itself well to an LMS.
