Training Industry is the most trusted source of information on the business of learning. Our Top Learning Management System (LMS) List is based on thorough analysis of the capabilities, experience and expertise of LMS providers.
A learning management system (LMS) is a computer-based operating system used by training organizations to register, track and monitor activity in the training function. Learners can access formal, informal and collaborative learning content from a learning management system and other related tools. LMSs have evolved from earlier systems to now include course and student monitoring, resource management, assessments, completion rates and more.
LMS providers offer technology solutions that allow the management of employee learning through a variety of administrative features for publishing, authoring and administering training as well as user features that facilitate ease-of-access to training programs and content.
We continuously monitor the training marketplace looking for the best providers of LMSs that offer a strong and diverse set of features and analytics. This annual list is designed to help buy-side organizations in their search for the right training partners.
Selection of this year’s Top LMS Companies List was based on the following criteria:
- Quality of LMS user and administrative features.
- Industry visibility, innovation and impact.
- Number and strength of clients.
- Geographic reach.
- Company size and growth potential.
