Before you build or buy LMS software, figure out which option is right for you
So, you’ve decided your company needs an actual learning management system (LMS). That’s great. It’s an essential part of any organization that has passed a certain threshold of growth and learned that learning delivery needs to be organized, controlled, tracked, and — to an extent — automated.
