Learning Management Systems (LMS) provide the infrastructure to create, deliver, and track training and educational content for employees, customers, or learners.
An LMS handles course authoring, assessments, learner progress tracking, certification, and reporting—often with ecommerce, community, and analytics features for monetized or enterprise programs.
Use cases include employee onboarding, continuous learning, customer education, and compliance training. When selecting an LMS, evaluate content authoring and multimedia support, learner experience, assessment and certification features, reporting and analytics, integrations with HRIS/SSO, scalability, multilingual capabilities, and pricing models.
Consider whether you need features for cohorts, instructor-led training, or marketplaces. A well-chosen LMS improves knowledge retention, standardizes learning, and measures the business impact of training programs.
