The decision to move away from SumTotal was not an easy one. SumTotal is one of the leaders in the LMS space for numeral reasons. Cost of ownership. This one is obvious.

I personally think what has hurt them in the greater market is the push by so many vendors (some of which are legit competitors) to refer to them as “traditional”, citing how long they have been around. Strategic blunder of major proportions in the acquisition of SumTotal has continued to hurt them (i.e., Skillsoft).
