Evaluating E Learning Software Providers

When choosing a provider of e learning software, you're deciding who to trust with your organization's most critical asset: its people. In evaluating the contenders, you should carefully consider these factors:

• Whether the e learning software provider can be relied on as a source of authoritative content with sound instructional design. Training based on content that's inaccurate, ineffective, or obsolete is worse than no training at all.
• The breadth and depth of the e learning software provider's content offerings. Your organization likely has a wide range of technical and operational training needs. If a single provider can meet all of these needs, you can spare your employees from having to muddle through a hodge-podge of disparate e learning software from different vendors.
• Whether (and how easily) the provider's e learning software resources can be customized to fit your organization's particular needs.
• Whether (and how easily) the provider's computer based training solution can be integrated with your existing learning and enterprise systems.

Why SkillSoft Stands Out as a Leading E Learning Software Provider

SkillSoft is the most trusted provider of e learning courseware and other elearning tools. Over 3,000 organizations around the world count on our e learning software, and over 10 million end users. Market research firm TNS has rated SkillSoft number-one in customer satisfaction for the past three years, with customer surveys placing SkillSoft above the average scores in all categories including product quality, ease of doing business, and customer service.

The reasons for this high degree of customer satisfaction are many, including:

• SkillSoft is continually evaluating and updating its e learning modules to ensure that its customers have the most authoritative and up-to-date content possible. SkillSoft invests heavily in annual research and development in order to stay on the leading edge of e learning content development and delivery. Elearning! magazine recognized this ongoing commitment to quality by awarding SkillSoft for both Best IT Content and Best Soft Skills Content in 2007, 2008, and 2009.
• SkillSoft's e learning courseware catalog is both broad and deep. Whether you need an IT certification training course or courses in desktop software skills, business management, or regulatory compliance, we've got you covered.
• In addition to courseware, SkillSoft offers its customers an array of e learning software resources including instructor-led virtual classrooms, online reference collections, skill simulations, on-demand video catalogs, and tools to facilitate social learning and mobile learning.
• SkillSoft can create custom content specifically for your organization, or provide you with tools to help you customize your own, with its off-the-shelf content.
• SkillSoft offers an enterprise-class LMS SkillPort, on which to deploy SkillSoft e learning software—but if you prefer to use a third-party LMS, SkillSoft has tools and services to help you with the integration. SkillSoft can also help you integrate its learning resources into your enterprise portal.
