Bridge Learning Platform vs. Infor Learning Management (LMS)

Bridge is suited for scenarios where you need ppl to complete steps in order or test that they received the correct amount of knowledge after watching a video. I do think Bridge is less appropriate for companies that use it in external training scenarios as there is some key functionality missing. We gotten very good at brainstorming and finding solutions/ways to get Bridge to work the way that we need it to

Suitable for multi-departmental or corporate groups. The ability to collaborate and track the progress is a useful feature. This is not the best option for a company that wants to develop high-quality instructional content or a user guide that customers can swiftly read and learn on their own. Big Data and Data Analysis are less supported on this cloud platform.

• Superb Customer Support: Getting help from Bridge is so accessible; whether it's via our customer relations rep, the chat or email option. I know I can always get immediate help when I need it.
• Events: The Bridge annual conference is a wonderful way to connect with Bridge and other companies who use it to get inspired and share ideas.
• Constantly improving: Every Bridge comes out with additions and improvements to make the user experience better.

• It enables enhanced collaboration. Users can actively contribute knowledge through the various platforms using ILM.
• Content Creation is quite simplified, and can be used to create quality content. Learners can quickly go through this quality content provided by the author and can enrich themselves.

• There is a 'language' that is used by Bridge staff which takes some getting used to. So many terms are 'tech speak' and it does take some extra time to learn those terms.
• The menus and links to reports, etc. are not as intuitive as they could be. I find myself frustrated at times trying to navigate. I don't automatically relate terms like 'insights' and 'instance' in the way they are used by Bridge.
• I've asked for a notification via email when a user completes the program. I recognize that this has been a work in progress but it seems like it should be a relatively simple fix.
• Initially, Bridge provided sessions which were designed to educate a new user on every aspect of everything Bridge has to offer. Much of this was a waste of time in our case. The training sessions should have asked first what we intended to do and provided only the information needed to get us going. We needed only a push in the right direction, not an overview of every possibility we may encounter.

• Single Sign on never worked.
• Our company was on the bleeding edge and tried to use Infor Learning Management shortly after Infor purchased the company. The software was not yet integrated into the Infor platform.
• Project managers weren't sure of the answers to some implementation questions.

It has been very useful to our organization in getting compliance training complete. We have a 24/7/365 organization with some folks only working 2 days a week during the summer only, many work full-time jobs elsewhere and can't make weekday programs and facilities don't have to alter schedules to get mass numbers of people through training like you have to do with live training..

I am giving 8 instead of 10 because we need to implement some new features in the system and this is a long process to accomplish. If it was easier and shorter, I would give a 10. Also, lately we are facing some technical issues which impacted some users experience, but Certpoint is working hard to catch up on this.

Even our folks who fought using it realized how easy it was once they took their first course.

The support for Infor Learning Management was quite prompt and were able to resolve the issues within the SLA

Our challenges were internal - nothing with Bridge. We had regular, productive meetings with our implementation representative.

Our previous LMS was Symphony. Hands down, there is no comparison. Switching to Bridge was the best decision made by our management team. All we used Symphony for was for our monthly compliance training. Many times people would complain that they would need to retake their compliance course as Symphony would lose records. It became a hassle having to retake a course because you didn't save a copy of the completion certificate. Bridge allows for more than just compliance training AND we are able to see if learners didn't complete their courses via the reports.

Both Litmus and Infor offer on demand training in both pre recorded and virtual environments. We appreciated Infor's dedication to content we didn't have to generate which we felt Litmus had lacked. The reporting features coming from Infor also seemed a bit more robust as well

• Bridge has allowed us to centralize our compliance training allowing for easy tracking. Bridge Learn has also made it easy for managers to track employee up-skilling from a learning perspective.
• Bridge Learn's native authoring tool makes it easy for SMEs to enter content directly into Bridge.
• One of the unexpected results of using Bridge Learn has been the high demand for professional development material. Employees want to use Bridge to learn more about the careers that they aspire to. This has increased learner engagement significantly on the platform.

• This helped in creating and enabling a lot of on-demand online training, which benefited the employees a lot.
• It had good ROI in terms of the regulator compliance tracking for all the employees. This was quite cost-effective as compared to the earlier process.
