One item, that people who are looking for a learning system often perceive is that the RFP will be the key deciding factor on selecting or at least narrowing down their list for a learning system. It is why vendors get inundated with them, from folks who have never looked at the learning system, initially.

That’s the role that an API plays in an interconnected program/app-based system. But in 2010, after putting out a call for vendors to develop a set of next-gen eLearning standards, the governing body of SCORM, Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL), tasked a company—Rustici Software—with that responsibility. The result was SCORM 2.0.

The list in this LMS RFP went on and on at this level.

The idea of such a capability was exciting, but we discovered that this technology was still in its infancy and not many vendors had exactly what we required. Identify few but mighty vendors. Do your research and be judicious with who you engage in the RFP process. Accepting the unknown. Find the money.

“A formal bid process starting with a thorough and systematic RFx is one of the best tools you have to validate your hypothesis and get clear on your needs versus wants, goals, and outcomes—and who will be the best vendor partner to help you succeed.” When budgeting, ask vendors for estimated licensing costs. 2: Write your RFx.

A vendor says “elearning course” ignoring that it really has a hyphen between the e and the l. I never understood why a vendor does this. Why can’t a vendor simply say video? A lot of vendors will list the publisher of the content, as if some learner says, “Holy Moly – you have IT skills?

There has never been an accurate number of how many learning system vendors actually have a training department, let alone trainers who provide said training, or customer education. Every vendor will state to you, if asked, how great is their support. Not every vendor has bad or average support. But more needs to be done.

However, it’s not the instant slam-dunk that some vendors may want you to believe – especially for extended enterprise learning.

In years past, the same dozen or so vendors competed for all the LMS market share. Nearly every vendor earned its bread and butter by selling to employee-minded buyers in HR. We have spent the last three years meeting more than 125 vendors — learning who they are, what they do, why they are unique, and who their customers are.

Questions – Each learning system vendor was asked a series of questions. I recognize that not everyone – i.e. vendor has the funds to invest heavily into the UI/UX, and thus I put that into context when reviewing a system. Data visualization plays an important role here – not for buying a Pinto, for the metrics.

The majority of vendors will continue, regardless of what you espouse. Now, if you want employee learning only, and you go to a vendor who only does customer training, then the initial “use case” rejection (politely) is understandable. The vendor is Skill Jar. The vendors really need to know more about the use case.

On top of that, there are vendors out there who change the type of system, repetitively. One vendor called their system for the longest time a “micro-learning platform” Now? Another vendor calls their system nearly every keyword for SEO purposes (you can see it on their web site). They call it something else.

While LMS vendors may be more than happy to show you everything the software is capable of, they usually don’t have enough time in their schedule to do so.

” As an LMS research analyst and vendor selection consultant, I get a version of that question often from both LMS buyers and sellers.
