Truth be told, nowadays there are a lot of LMSs out there that are pitching themselves as an “extended enterprise” Perhaps they sell in the retail space or channel partners, but when you really drill down, what you see isn’t truly what you want to get. That is how I felt after looking at these extended enterprise systems.

Time for these vendors to wake up, or see your audience share disappear. There is a mid segment of the vendors in the LMS/LCMS or learning portal markets that offer some features of social learning, as part of their standard system or as their “add on modules&#. Social Learning Systems.

If you are an e-learning vendor exploring the SBM do not take them lightly, a few are slowly entering my 2nd trend. Extended Enterprise/Channel Product/Distributors Market. Marketplaces & Exchanges by LMS/Learning Portal Vendors. I see double digit growth in Lite LMSs in 2011.

I include Learning Portals, LCMSs, as part of the mix. Extended Enterprise – System must have e-comm, multi-tenet – fully skinnable, additional functionality. Extended Enterprise. E-commerce is standard, multi-tenet off the main system, with each distributor/wholesaler/reseller/sales agent, etc.

Mobile learning value is there, expands a system who offers extended enterprise. Web conferencing vendors can establish themselves to expand beyond the meeting standard. Feature set is rich – think of the possibilities, even with a learning management or learning portal system. Why would I want it?

The LMS/LCMS/Learning Portal market continues to be strong. In my latest directory, 393 LMS vendors – global, of which 34 or so are open source systems. Folding up shop and switching to a new market: Talent/Performance Management, new product lines not tied to e-learning, services. It was a myth.
