This is a story about a one-time giant in the 3rd party off-the-shelf content providers. 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. SumTotal’s Learning’s home learner page?

Innovation was stagnant and most vendor effort was invested in stealing customers from one another. To save the day the cloud was invented and with it the significant fiscal barriers of entry for new LMS providers were removed. The cloud LMSs provide learning management to the masses. Our mission is to map the LMS world.

I personally think what has hurt them in the greater market is the push by so many vendors (some of which are legit competitors) to refer to them as “traditional”, citing how long they have been around. Strategic blunder of major proportions in the acquisition of SumTotal has continued to hurt them (i.e., Skillsoft).
