Top 5 LMS Software for Large Businesses

For large businesses, employee training is required to ensure that their workforce continues to develop their skills in order to meet the ever-growing requirements of a competitive business environment. These days training can be delivered in a variety of ways and not just through instructor-led courses, these include readymade e-learning platforms, virtual classrooms, skills assessment, and even remote on-the-job training.

In order to manage these diverse training needs, these companies need a dedicated learning management system or LMS to automate and track these activities so that they can get a better return on investment. With an LMS in place, this will lead to a better trained and more effective workforce.

Yet choosing an LMS for a large business can be a difficult task given the wide variety of options currently available. At ITQlick we aim to help companies with this by evaluating the many vendors and considering a number of important factors.

These include the scope of learning delivery options available and the compatibility of the learning content with leading training standards. Additionally, we have reviewed technology & software needs as well as integration options and also considered whether the product is flexible to meet the changing requirements of diverse workforces.

Finally given that many large businesses operate globally we have also checked how well the LMS meets multi-cultural training needs. Thus from this review, we recommend the following solutions.
