We get this question a lot, so we thought we would share it with you along with the response:
Question:
I know you have an integrated LMS/LCMS system -- but I am concerned about the portability of content in the (unlikely!!) possibility that we terminate a contract with epath. How flexible is the system in working with Articulate and/or Captivate and/or other authoring tools (please specify) -- tell me why I shouldn't be concerned about portability.
There seems to be a lot of chatter regarding multi-tenacy vs. single tenancy in the Software-as-a-Service (Saas) environment. There also seems to be just as many questions about the value of one over the other. First, let’s define multi-tenancy. Here’s where a real-estate analogy works well. Multi-tenancy is like leasing office space in an office building. Because the tenants of the building share the infrastructure (the building and operational services) the tenant can afford better office accomodations than if they purchased their own building.
Without a doubt, we will see more and more organizations moving to the “software-as-a-service” model for development and management of training, and away from the legacy Learning Management Systems that are installed on internally supported servers. The faster implementation, lower upfront cost and higher level of support provided by hosted iLMS and LCMS providers, such as ePath Learning, are benefits that are just now reaching the market place. - Dudley Molina, President and CEO, ePath Learning, Inc.
What is the importance of having an accurate and understood message? I don’t believe elearning should be constantly refined just for the sake of change. Courses certainly need to be changed if the content becomes inaccurate or test results indicate that learners do not comprehend the content. The fascinating thing about elearning is that done right, courses can be instantaneously updated and redeployed – literally with the click of a button. - Dudley Molina, President & CEO, ePath Learning, Inc.
