A
new research study by Brandon Hall Research shows, however,
that several feature-rich systems are available on the market
for much less than traditional LMSs. Pricing for some systems
have been identified to be as high as $234,150 for 500 learners.
Brandon Hall Research’s latest research identifies and
provides analyst commentary on 17 systems that cost as little
as $8,980 for that same 500 learners. In addition to a substantial
cost savings, some of these systems can be implemented in
as little as one week.
The new report, "Low-Cost
Learning Management Systems: 17 Products for Limited Budgets,"
identifies affordable LMS choices organizations can use to
deliver, track, and manage training.
"Purchasing an LMS can be a daunting
proposition," says Brandon Hall, Ph.D., lead researcher
and CEO of Brandon Hall Research. "It's easy to get overwhelmed
by the many choices in the marketplace. By doing a little
homework and focusing only on real business needs, an organization
can save a tremendous amount of money and still get a surprising
amount of functionality."
In the tradition of Brandon Hall Research research, the report
identifies key differentiators of each of the 17 low-cost
systems, including an in-depth analyst review and information
on features, pricing, and implementation. In addition, the
report includes helpful tips on how to lower costs, how to
avoid “feature scope creep,” and tips on how to
develop a request for proposal.
