We review 150 developers in our custom content knowledge base and identified 550 vendors that produce custom courseware. Public listed Blackboard or Open source Moodle. In addition to understanding the content for a custom course, the vendor needs to understand the companys culture and communicate constantly with the SME.

Say, if youre purchasing a course library from SkillSoft or some other vendor: If a client has their own LMS, do they purchase the courses outright and host them on their own servers? If so, is the vendor able to track usage or do they just sell the content for a flat fee based on LMS seat size? By actual usage?

eLearning vendors (those that design custom courseware) are often handed the course to be built. So the vendor scopes it out and does the design work, the storyboarding, the development work. But the bottom line is, the vendor needs to butter their bread and produce what the client has asked for. Evaluation complete.

Microsoft in India, just hires content development managers, whose core skill sets is ID, but their role turns out to be that of a vendor manager and content reviewer, as Microsoft (in India) outsources elearning work to 3rd parties.

Why should companies go with e-Learning vendors when rapid e-Learning tools are available? Have the e-Learning vendor create the first few custom programs. Vendors create solid relationships with their customers this way -- creating an environment of collaboration and respect for mutual expertise. I completely agree with this.
