Like many of you, I was surprised to find out that Skillsoft is in the process of acquiring SumTotal. Combination of Skillsoft and SumTotal offers comprehensive, content-rich HR solutions. I am always bothered when vendors see the entities as one in the same. Getting back to Skillsoft and SumTotal. They are not.

A behemoth, impressive and at the same time, seen in a “Evil Empire” perspective among other vendors in the mid 2000s. This is also about a vendor who lost their way. A vendor who made not only poor business decisions with the likes of Percipio, but also with the monumental blunder of acquiring SumTotal. .

Well, not yet, but it is coming up and with that are all those wonderful vendors and that magical expo. But one of the biggest problems I see at such shows are the number of vendors who in hindsight I wished I avoided. I recall at ATD this past year, a vendor who was trying to sell people ahead of time their LMS. CD2Learning.

These are being reported out of the larger eLearningGuild population and I would claim that they are likely more accurate than survey research that goes through the vendors themselves. Several of the LMS vendors appear more than once, such as Oracle. Most of the time (as is the case with Oracle) these are different products.
