Use Of Cloud Model: SAAS Learning Management System
Posted: Aug 31, 2014
Many of the companies and the organizations are using various types of learning management systems (LMSs) in order to make their employees more knowledgeable and skillful. No doubt that they are getting the positive results from these LMSs in terms of training their employees. However, to have these technologies, sometimes the companies have to compromise with their investments as they not only need to purchase the technology but also hire the IT professionals in order to manage them. Hence, the companies felt a need to have some more advanced technology which not only trains their employees but also saves their investments.
So, "software as a service" model i.e. SAAS learning management system came into the picture. This model is also known as "the cloud" in which the vendors support and manage it from their side. That means, now the companies can subscribe to this tool without actually licensing it and running it on their server.
Following are some of its benefits:
Allows a company to focus on its core business
- Allows easy integration
- Control and manages training events, learning sessions etc more effectively
- Easily integrate partners
- Eliminates nonstrategic it issues
- Enables administration to keep track of the reports
- Extends learning and makes it more easy
- Faster deployment
- Gives flexibility to check the progress any time
- Helps in improving the compliance report
- Improve overall productivity
- Improved scalability
- Instant updates
- Lower down initial costs and also reduced in-house support
- Offers high security level
- Reliable and costs efficient
- Single multi-tenant structural design
- Speeds up the production
This new technology is far better than the conventional ways which were quite time consuming and difficult to manage, as the employees investing their time in training can affect the business negatively as these trainings used to hold in the job timing. Another thing, those types of training sessions used to have a training room and a trainer also.
No doubt that learning management system is becoming the backbone of any business. However, having a cloud model gives the business more strength by eliminating the initial cost factor.
Initially only the big organizations used to have this tool, but with the passage of time and because of its significance now small firms are using it and taking advantage by having their return on investment i.e. ROI.
If searching properly you can find many of the vendors that provide SAAS model service. The service, type and budget may vary from one to another. And also, it depends on the company that what kind of service it is looking for? In addition, never choose any vender blindly, consider its reputation and existence in the market and if needed you can also search the reliable vendor over the internet through various websites. While selecting any vendor only also read the reviews and comments as they will surely help you a lot in searching for the best, most suitable and reliable vendor.
