Via a standard web browser, users interact with the courseware and LMS, and can also collaborate with an instructor and other classmates. Activities and results are recorded in an enterprise-level, relational database.
Although long-term savings are realized for companies able to convert from classroom-led training to electronic delivery, implementation, costs are high to implement a comprehensive in-house solution. A shared database manages training and user tracking information. Application and infrastructure costs are shared among many users. The technology enables the client to receive frequent upgrades, limited capital expenditures, and implementation measured in weeks as opposed to months. In addition, demands on the client's in-house IT systems staff and infrastructure are minimal.
The system is able to communicate with ERP applications such as PeopleSoft.
