The LMS market takes a beating all the time. The LMS market still has the largest share in the learning system space, many are in the last five years, they range from innovative to just eech.

The tags of traditional and legacy are nothing more than marketing spin by competitors who believe an LMS is an outdated solution best left behind. Cornerstone’s LMS is ideal for those in the mid-market, Enterprise (5,000 and up), and Large Enterprise space. I have always disagreed with that premise. Not an upgrade, included it.
