Acquistions – Someone had an idea

eLearning 24-7

However, ND never hit its stride and had the potential to do so – the very first vendor, whereas you could use part of it via a jump drive (true). Adobe was the first vendor to use templates to create courses. Both were a client buy (prevalent, BTW) when vendors buy other learning systems. Not Articulate.

This isn’t a beauty contest, nor a pay for play (I NEVER accept that, nor play that game, nor do I accept any referral fees or whatever some vendors offer for recommending them). Not everyone gets in. But I digress.

Talented Learning

Old-school LMS companies (like SumTotal , Plateau , Learn.com , GeoLearning and Certpoint ) were acquired by much larger talent and HR-suite providers like SAP/SuccessFactors , Infor , Oracle and IBM. With that kind of captive customer, why would a talent management LMS vendor even bother to improve its product? And that’s when it hit.
