Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As the Manager of Professional Development, we consistently use LMS365/Learn365 to develop and publish all of our learning content. I find the software to be easy to learn especially since it sits on top of SharePoint so many users find it familiar. In addition our staff finds it easy to navigate through the catalog and identify courses they wish to take. Overall it's an easy and wonderful tool for our needs.

Pros

Creating an easy to navigate Course Catalog
Enabling the training team to assign training easily and send out email reminders.
Create sample training in the Sandbox to test thoughts and ideas.

Cons

I would like to see LMS365 add more dynamic tools for the content creation such as recording, editing and AI software.

Return on Investment

LMS365 is an overall positive experience. My only "negative" feedback is that I wish it didn't rely on the Azure directory to set up teams as our organization does not use Azure so that I can create teams within the LMS.

Learning Analytics Lead in Human Resources at Ryman Healthcare (5001-10,000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

LMS365 was used at Ryman Healthcare to centralize, publish, and distribute eLearning and facilitated learning courses across 45 aged retirement care locations across New Zealand and Victoria, Australia. LMS365 provided a platform to create course shells to customize depending on the need of each course and the ability to upload score files for learning.

Pros

SCORM compliance.
eLearning publishing.
Active Directory-based user groups.

Cons

No inbuilt user group management.
No eLearning authoring tools.
No standalone app- requires SharePoint.

Return on Investment

Improved compliance.
Scalable learning.
Reporting

Amanda Moya View profile

Client Retention Specialist in Finance and Accounting at WellSky (1001-5000 employees employees)

Pros

Course library is highly intuitive
Completed courses are obviously graded
The video player is embedded properly.

Cons

Clarify the process for enrollment into courses
When the user clicks into a different portion of the file library and then needs to return to a previous class the software forces you to go all the way back to the beginning of the coursework, this isn’t that painful just annoying.

Return on Investment

Employees cannot work until they are Hippaa certified, LMS 365 makes it possible for us to expedite the process of certifying many employees at once.
LMS 365 Does not easily support any training for software such as Excel or SharePoint despite the course catalog offering classes for these subjects.
LMS 365 could stand user interface redesign if nothing else to update it to a more modern appearance

Other Software Used

Tableau CRM (formerly Einstein Analytics), MS SharePoint, Notepad++

SVP Technology in Engineering at Logicease Solutions Inc (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

Easy to setup and manage.
Lots of configurable settings and behavior controls.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind as it covered everything we needed and much that we did not use.

Return on Investment

Quite positive as we had more than 15 classes of which various job functions and roles were required to take classes based on those roles and it was very easy to manage at a lower cost than any other portal we received quotes for.

and so much more
Connectivity to other system is always a must ...

O365 integration
ADFS integration
CRM and SAP integration possible

Cons

There is more to do on the Competency and Skill management site of the product, to make the use even broader for a company.
As soon as TinCan is quasi accepted, SharePoint LMS will have to adopt it in their core product as an extension to SCROM, AICC, LRM and of course their native course content and delivery options

Return on Investment

Knowledge Management, Collaboration is a well used term today, maybe already to well used. However, without an effective Knowledge Management and Collaboration strategy with the company we find ourselves in an increasing difficult position to be successful in the market. Training as a company strategy becomes more and more important as only through training:
We can increase knowledge of employees
We can ensure certain information is distributed and understood
Compliance is being established, delivered and measured
We can maintain knowledge and spread it to others
The company becomes more agile
Training might be as well of a company interest as a tool used outside the company
Training can be offered to others (e.g. customer and clients) as a support or sales tool
Training can be sold to others (partners)
