What are the challenges and pitfalls of integrating with multiple learning sources? How do you integrate with other tools and databases? Is it a good idea to have an integrator handling the LMS (Accenture, IBM, ACS, etc.)? What are the implementation, acquisition, options - insource, outsource, build vs. buy? What are the costs?

And we run into the same tough situation each time: If there's an integration issue, like the score or completion is not getting set appropriately, we want to be able to make changes to the course to try to fix it. The problem is that there is no guarantee that two SCORM implementations that pass the self-test suite will integrate okay.

I'm a little concerned how well LMS solutions will handle the webinar integration and the subscriptions. They don't really have a tech team, so going with a hosted solution that would live at a subdomain would be best, i.e., subscribers would go to: learn.company.com in order to sign up, pay, and get access to webinars, content, etc.
