The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we work and learn, but it’s also changed another fundamental thing about the L&D community: how we connect. We’d be connecting with our friends and colleagues in the training community in person, watching speakers, and talking with vendors on exposition floors all over the world.

Every vendor will state to you, if asked, how great is their support. Not every vendor has bad or average support. You can download it here.

It is built by a vendor – you pay to “buy the system” which really means you are leasing it. You purchase seats (some vendors refer to it as licenses). You may have to buy for multi-tenant, or e-commerce functionality, or additional add-ons, if the vendor offers it. Commercial is fee-based. It will be lower.

One strategy is to look at online colleges and universities, including community colleges. Search online for “elearning vendor” or “elearning company” to start a search. Some LMS vendors have teams to create custom elearning using their systems (Blackboard is a big one). Higher education.

These three areas are to be one unified community, to be focused on measurable results, and to put customers first. Moreover, client organizations both may not know how to do so and may also be reluctant to share data with a vendor. In this case, the issue is company culture.

This has always been a challenge with various vendors, especially today, where turnkey (out of the box) is the standard, a few tweaks included, and thus implementation times are very short (a plus). What about other vendors? The vendor, doesn’t have to do it. The implementation/update time is all around the buyer.

In years past, the same dozen or so vendors competed for all the LMS market share. Nearly every vendor earned its bread and butter by selling to employee-minded buyers in HR. We have spent the last three years meeting more than 125 vendors — learning who they are, what they do, why they are unique, and who their customers are.

Is it the buy-in of a word, a term or a narrative that makes it appear as though it isn’t anything as an LMS or a Learning Platform that pushes vendors themselves to ‘add it’ or ‘sell it’ in such a way that they know people will purchase it?

The majority of vendors will continue, regardless of what you espouse. Now, if you want employee learning only, and you go to a vendor who only does customer training, then the initial “use case” rejection (politely) is understandable. The vendor is Skill Jar. The vendors really need to know more about the use case.

The online learning vendor signed up somebody to create the course, but he left afterward. So, the online learning vendor must stay in touch with the learners to know whether they are getting any in-time support. Having an online community is also vital because the learners discuss their queries, which helps them with FOMO.
