What effect will your LMS have on your organization/business?  That is the ultimate question to be asked during the LMS purchase process.  An LMS will centralize and organize data, but how is the effect of the training measured? TrainingForce is an LMS that keeps management up-to-date with real-time reporting about the status of the training organization.  Number of registrants, training delivery methods and instructor utilization are all measurements tracked in TrainingForce.  How does this affect the organization? Corporate training departments need to know 'who needs what training and when'.  If everyone is trained according to their job title, the training department has accomplished its' goal. For-profit training departments need to know the same information, but with a different goal, sales. TrainingForce alerts management to folks whose continuing education certificate is getting ready to expire. It also assists with marketing new courses based on customer history. The bottom line for training departments is the bottom line; - does everyone have the specific training they need when they need it - has it been delivered in a cost effective manner - has the training had a positive effect on the overall organization (better service or increased profitability) If the answer is yes, then the LMS part in the success of the training has been the measurement of success.�
