Maybe they won’t, but I have seen a range, where the vendor will say, “okay, it wasn’t 8K, but really 6K, so I am only going to charge you for that.” So, if they say well it will cost between 10-20K, amazingly 10K never seems to be dead on (does it happen?

If you want to track in a learning management system or learning platform that supports SCORM then you want it. If your goal is just to post the course on a server and let people access it, just for the sake of learning and you don’t care about tracking of any sort – then no, you do not need any compliance standard.

We want to reduce our costs, and our current LMS is too expensive. If you have proprietary courses already in place in your LMS, those need to move over to your new one – the easiest way to do this – is hopefully before you uploaded it into your LMS, you have the exact copy someone on your servers or desktop or drive.

Many vendors will give you a discount for doing this, or toss in an extra month.

Video streaming – either through the system itself – I believe it would be something like the vendor gives you 1GB of storage for free and then charges for more storage; you can stream from another server and tie into the LMS in some fashion.

LMS vendors are continuing to add some very unique features in an effort to set themselves apart from the competition. This is to say that 90% of features most folks seek are nearly universal in a LMS – low cost or otherwise. SaaS – the norm, what no longer is the norm – hosted on the client’s servers only.
