\u201cOur LMS stopped working for us months ago, but we\u2019re tied into a three-year contract, so we\u2019re stuck with a platform that doesn\u2019t work for us anymore\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe chose this learning platform because we were told it had the most features on the market, but now we need a specific feature to meet our needs we\u2019re being told we can\u2019t have it until it\u2019s on the vendor\u2019s product roadmap\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur LMS was working fine until we merged with another company, and now we\u2019re running two platforms side-by-side which can\u2019t talk to one another, meaning our learning admin has doubled and we\u2019re paying for two systems instead of one\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve heard problems like the examples above time and time again in the learning technologies industry. Huge numbers of organisations are unhappy with their learning management systems, finding that they\u2019re too expensive, not fit for purpose and not flexible enough to adapt to their changing needs.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cNearly one-half (46%) of survey respondents were only \u2018somewhat satisfied\u2019 with their LMS. LMS implementation\u00a0experiences substantially affect overall levels of satisfaction.\u201d – The eLearning Guild, Corporate Learning Management Systems 2016\u20132018<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These issues tend to arise when organisations select proprietary learning platforms and find themselves locked into expensive, long-term contracts with products that don\u2019t evolve with them over time. That\u2019s why at Totara, we believe there\u2019s a better way – we call it the Four Freedoms.<\/p>\n
