Whether your business is holding steady or growing rapidly, odds are that your L&D needs change at least every 2 years, and probably more often than that. If youre not not using LMS software for new hires, youre using it for policy, product, or service offering rollouts. Each and every one of your employees, from the front line to the corner office, needs to know whats going on. And as learning and development professionals, you need a solution provider thats agile enough to change when your company does.
Intellum's Rollbook LMS software is specifically designed to be the scalable, hosted LMS you need to maximize the efficiency of your L&D department. Whether you need to train 5 fresh interns on internal procedure, 50,000 store employees on new loss prevention procedures, or the entire marketing team on the technical details of a new product, the story is the same- You need to get them up to speed quickly, and you cant waste time or money doing it.
Although we're confident that our solutions exceed customer expectations, industry statistics show that a huge portion of LMS buyers are unhappy with their solution, for a variety of reasons. Rather than simply throw time and money at the problem, take a step back, and follow these 5 rules to make sure your deploy the right system for your organization.
5 simple rules for picking out your organization's LMS software
- Determine Your Strategy: In determining a basic strategy, focus on who you will be teaching. Where will the learning happen? At your offices? In their homes? In hotel rooms accross the country? Some combination of all three? How long will they have to learn the material?
- Inventory Internal Resources: Do you have all the technology and content you need at your disposal already? Do you have one and not the other? Or are you starting from scratch and need all the help you can get? It is important to recognize your pre-existing technology and labor resources, including subject experts, content management systems, and technology platforms. Getting a full picture of current resources before you begin will speed up the vendor selection processes.
- Project Project Growth (or Shrinkage): Picking the most cost-effective LMS vendor means anticipating workforce expansion or contraction. Solution scalability is key; especially in such a volatile economy. Quality vendors have solutions that become more or less expensive as you add or subtract learners. While every buyer should take this in to account, those that plan to host their solutions themselves must be even more careful. Unwise upfront technology investments can delay or reduce project ROI.
- Determine Ease of Use: If you have an IT team dedicated to the task, or your vendor will add all content to the system, complexity is less of an issue. On the other hand, if your L&D department is a little less technical, ease-of-use is vital. You need to be able to change and tweak your content, access, etc.
- Compare and Contrast: Make to sure to look at a number of LMS software offers and providers, as every one is a bit different. However, dont look at how many features and apps every one offers, focus instead on how well they perform when it comes to the features you look for.
