Why, would a system that pushes heavily around the customer education/partner training segment, acquire a vendor who does the complete opposite? If Valamis wanted to push heavy and truly commit to the CE segment, they would have acquired a vendor who has capabilities or features or even themselves plays in the CE side.

Too many people focus on features now, and on top of that, what the vendor says is coming. . There are vendors who focus on quality of a specific client segment, rather than mass.

In a way, that is what is occurring in the learning system space today. I would love to tell you that nobody is paying outrageous fees for the privilege of buying a learning system. In the early months of 2022, many vendors are surpassing that. A band for most vendors was 1,000 to 5,000 end users for example, now?

And if you are like me, having outstanding support when it comes to your learning system should equally be of high importance. Yet in both cases, for the most part, the results on the part of learning systems in the past has been mixed. Every vendor will state to you, if asked, how great is their support.

If you have seen a learning system, any system, at a trade show, such as LTUK, or ATD (coming up), or on the web, or in your dreams, you start to notice a retread.

Vendors are a clever bunch of folks. Whether they are selling learning technology, content/courses, or even learning systems. Those who have Gen-AI in their system, platform content/courses, and technology are noted very visibly. Some who didn’t even have it pitched it at those vendor sessions on the floor.

1,000 is the magic number for a lot of vendors. There are vendors that unless you have a minimum of 1,000 end-users (regardless if they are employees, customers, etc.) I know of vendors who will go below 1,000, but their “sweet spot”, the number they really would prefer is a minimum of 1,000. Is 500 to 999 an option?
