LMS Vendors and Tablets Update. That said, why is this happening: A significant (over 90%) of vendors are holding off this year and at least part of next year from optimizing their solution to the iPad. But with LMS vendors jumping into the mobile learning sector, at least in some cases, it may be a tad misleading.

For the past month, I have been conducting a survey on learning platforms and specifically learning management systems. . The data shows that what many vendors assume end users want is far from accurate. Too many vendors are focusing on talent/performance management as the next feature/component in their systems.

Yet, for many vendors that objective, comes at a price, you have to talk to them. Whether its by e-mail (my preferred choice), phone (often their preferred choice) or a combination, at the end of the day, it’s about the conversation. For many vendors it is all about the phone call. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

You do not want to switch, but your current LMS, doesn’t have the social learning or any social learning features I need or want. 2011 will show profitable gains for a large portion of vendors across the sector. A lot of them.
