It is nearly 13 years since I started working in the LMS space. That time has been split between working on customized LMS implementations (about 8 years) and cloud-based LMS solutions during my time with LearnUpon. One of the main drivers behind Des (LearnUpon’s CTO and co-founder) and myself starting LearnUpon was our strong belief that a configurable, cloud-based LMS would be a much better proposition for most companies than a customized solution.
And while there is no doubt that cloud hosted (SaaS) learning management systems are by far the most popular option for companies looking to deliver eLearning to their employees, customers, partners and resellers, from time to time we still see organizations choose a customizable solution over a cloud-based one. And there are some valid reasons for going down that route.
