George believes that the future of both the LMS and the LCMS is quite strong, the obvious point being that there will always be a need for structured content and reporting to meet regulatory and legal obligations. However, those vendors who rely solely on this argument are very likely to find themselves quickly marginalized.

Best elearning / corporate education blog – The Rapid E-Learning Blog I’m going to pay my respects to a fellow vendor here because Tom lends such practical and valuable advice to his user community.
