Installed Vs Cloud Based Learning Management System

For the modern workplace, Training and Learning are very important. Employees need to acquire newer skills and knowledge on a continuous basis to be effective and continue to rise professionally. That is why most organizations take the process of training very seriously and Learning Management Systems are implemented to provide learners the opportunity to learn as per their own needs and pace. Even if the organization has a dedicated team to handle the change management that comes along the implementation of a LMS, most find it difficult to ensure widespread adoption and user satisfaction.

Compared to Installed legacy LMSs, there are many benefits of implementing a Cloud LMS - especially for smaller organizations who do not have the necessary support staff to manage or maintain the learning management system.

    Smaller organizations have limited budgets and with cloud LMS, you can make significant cost savings - especially at the initial investments level. Smaller organizations often do not have the necessary infrastructure or the in-house expertise to deploy and run an installed LMS. They do not have the freedom to carry heavy overheads in the changing market situation. For them the pay-as-you-go mode makes more sense as it allows them to reap the benefits training - without incurring overhead costs.

    Installed software have to be installed at each and every office premise that the organization has. However the technological infrastructure might not be appropriate across different offices, making it difficult to train employees in remote locations or who are on the move. With Cloud Learning Management System, the learners can connect with the internet through the device of their choice - be it a desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet. The learners also need internet connection - which is again available even in remote locations. But if in any case the connection is inconsistent, the learners' progress can be saved and courses can be taken up from the section last read.

    Integrating a cloud system is also simpler than an installed LMS and can be done completely in a remote manner. This makes sure that the data is synched with data from other systems across the organization - especially with the HR database which controls and maintains user access of the learning system. Learners can be assigned courses easily and the administrators can chart their progress - all without logging in and out of different systems.

Cloud-based solutions are slowly being accepted by organizations across the world - owing to the scalability, flexibility and cost savings it provides. It truly makes sense - as it is easily deployed, easily implemented and easily maintained. Compared to install on-premise, Cloud LMS provide hassle-free learning.
