Need information about products and vendors? Brandon Hall Research’s online KnowledgeBases are online services that encourage users to compare products and vendors to see how they stack up, what features make them stand out, and what they are best at accomplishing.

These online KnowledgeBases are often used by purchasers, IT departments, consultants, trainers – anyone who needs up-to-date information on the tools and technologies that drive learning.

KnowledgeBase subscribers often use these online tools to do things like:

• Compare potential products to make smart purchasing decisions
• Find products and services that meet particular standards or certifications
• Find courseware titles or authoring tools that match business needs
• Slice and dice data to make presentations or compile reports

The uses for this kind of data are many, and the need for this service is obvious. Without data that breaks down the real capabilities of products and service providers, organizations are often forced to rely solely on outside consultants or the word of salespeople trying to sell them something. With an objective breakdown, organizations can be more diligent and make smarter long-term decisions about the way they spend their training dollars.

No one else compiles this kind of in-depth, objective information. It’s literally thousands of pages of information compiled into powerful databases that allows users to search, compare, and drill down to find the products and vendors they need. The information can be browsed or printed as lengthy profiles, or users can slice and dice data with numerous search and comparison tools and calculators. And, it’s all available online, on-demand.

Need to find an LMS that has a user interface in Mandarin Chinese? Looking for an authoring tool that outputs SCORM 1.2-compatible content? Searching for a course to teach leadership skills to fledgling executives? Need a custom content provider to create a course for call center employees? Whatever your particular training needs, these online KnowledgeBases are a reliable way to keep an enterprise up-to-speed on new technologies and stocked with the best products and services.

And – as with everything Brandon Hall Research does – there are no advertisements, no partnerships, and no sponsorships. The products and vendors profiled are chosen based solely on value to subscribers. Search, find, and search again. It’s all available in a one-year subscription, and it’s only available from Brandon Hall Research.
