Learning management systems didn’t die. Quick LMS History. Corporate LMSs were invented almost 30 years ago to manage and report on the training and compliance of their employees and contractors. Every LMS tried to be all things to all types of customers in all industries. Cloud to the Rescue.

When we started Talented Learning nearly four years ago, our mission was to help clients find and use learning management systems that effectively support extended enterprise education. After all, the circumstances surrounding extended enterprise learning are vastly different from employee-related scenarios.

It’s time again for the annual Talented Learning LMS Awards! The Talented Learning Awards are not a money-making affair for us. Vendors can’t buy their way onto these lists. In fact, there is no cost to participate and no way vendors can influence the outcome directly. Because in truth, it depends!

When I began my career as an analyst, I started out studying the LMS market. At that time (early 2000s), learning management systems were an innovative new business application that helped companies build and manage e-learning and track and organize all forms of training.

Because of the size of the market and split out of types of systems, it made sense to create an umbrella term and then place the main four types of systems under said umbrella. . Hence, learning systems. The biggest market in size and scope are LMSs (Learning Management Systems). LEP/LXP market.

From the learning system and learning technology standpoint (and yes, I see a difference) the PE or VC firm is the one to go to when you seek capital or seek to be acquired. They are the ones that many vendors still today, hear from, to gauge whether or not said vendor is interested in being acquired or receiving funding.
