if over 90% of all the training activity in a company - is supplied & mandated by clients - who own and retain proprietary rights to content, medium, design, delivery (off-shored seervices) - what would be the benefits of investing in elearning/lms? (barring - regulatory & proprietary content)....

What is the importance of tracking training on the 10% that is developed by your employer?

Would the ease of allowing partners to deploy training to your LMS make it easier for them to do business with you? Would it make it easier for them to generate reports to ensure your company is meeting the training agreements? Would it make it easier for your management to ensure contractual compliance?

An LMS is more than a way to host courses, it is also a powerful reporting system. When serving as an offshore business partner transparency is the key to success. Allowing partners (clients) to view training reports for the people assigned to them could be a competitive advantage.

those are good questions & Thank you for your comments..I agree tracking systems/measurements etc - for reporting out are of primary and probably the single most reason.

a) our clients currently don't yet leverage any kinds of e-learning - so thats a (present dead end)
b) and while there are advantages in tracking internal trainings - having said that - that probably won't immediately translate to a competitive advantage -

currently putting together a cba hoping to grab the yearend investment dollars.. thx
