Learning Management Systems (LMS)

A learning management system provides a complete e-learning infrastructure for creating, managing, tracking, delivering, and assessing enterprise-wide e-learning, whether in the classroom or online. In a corporate set-up, these learning management systems can be used to track staff competencies and skill levels and also helps in making content more easily available and accessible. This immediately makes it a part of any intranet solution too.

Apart from being a robust tool for easily administering and delivering training content and assessments, it also helps in acting as a performance tool that can be used for Human Resource functions effectively. It can manage individual learning activities, development and growth activities and even resource scheduling activities. Overall benefits are aligning organizational learning with business objectives, creating a corporate university for executive, management and IT training.

In addition to these functions, an LMS also enables detailed analysis of the skills of a workforce. Ultimately, that's why an organization implements an LMS--to provide information that influences decision making and optimizes money spent on training.
