As an analyst a decade later, I wrote industry reports about learning management systems, authoring tools, and other technologies. I also had the chance to sit in on three or four demonstrations by LMS vendors per week. During the peak of the LCMS craze, people used to often demand that their LMS also have LCMS capabilities.
