About Us

A Learning Management System (LMS for short) manages training activities in an organization. It ensures that the right training courses are provided and carried out for the right target persons and tracks training courses accordingly. Originally, learning management systems were firmly established systems that were initially implemented for the mandatory compliance training. Nowadays, however, the focus is more on the learning experience and knowledge sharing. These solutions are sometimes referred to as learning experience platforms, next generation learning platforms, e-learning or knowledge sharing software. At its core, a learning management system offers organizations a central database with course materials, assessments and online communication options. And it allows employees

There are three categories of the holistic learning approach:

Top-down training - compliance, product or service training as well as learning soft skills such as leadership and time management.
Bottom-up training - users search for training themselves, either on the learning platform or on the web.
Horizontal learning - user generated content, knowledge sharing, social learning and collaborative learning
From a technical point of view, an LMS should be accessible to everyone in the organization. Mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets increase the acceptance of further training and the completion rate compared to learning only via desktop computers. Since the costs for training are often very high, it is also advisable to be able to report effectively on the success of individual elements with the help of advanced analytics. Ideally as a specific return on investment (ROI) from training courses and seminars.

In view of the development of artificial intelligence, many companies are currently hoping that AI-controlled learning recommendations in their learning management system will increase curiosity. For example, a recommendation system based on Netflix could enable employees to find content that is tailored to their interests and needs.

In summary, the advantages of LMS are:

Saves time and money
Tailored learning content
