LMS Multi-Year Contracts
This is a nice supplement to the LMS Moneyball post and explains why you do not want a one, two year or more than three year contract, when you sign up for a LMS/LCMS.
The Truth and Realities of E-Learning

The e-learning industry – and especially LMS/LCMS systems – is not a non-negotiable industry. Just because they offer a street price, doesn’t mean you should pay it, nor should you. The time has come to end LMS Moneyball.
Some vendors offer a wide variety of add-on options or better known as “modules” which do not come as standard features in their LMS/LCMS. We discuss the Truths and Realities behind this approach.
More Puzzlers that LMS/LCMS vendors seem to have forgotten when it comes to the REAL WORLD! Operating Systems, Browsers and a Language.
LMS/LCMS vendors are now pitching mobile learning, social learning and everything you can imagine, yet they still are living in a time warp from the 1980’s when it comes to great service to the client/customer, true emerging technology and real time support.
Interoperability is the golden premise in any SCORM LMS/LCMS system.

Let’s get right to the chase. You have a LCMS/LMS. You generate reports about your employees or customers or both
One of the main reasons people purchase a LMS is for data and yet very few people ever ask questions regarding data uploads, time or format.
