For the amount of online courses that one can find online, it was hard to find a website that would offer companies the online courses that they need, along with a management portal which can be used to assign courses to employees, and track progress all at one place. All my queries in this direction always led me to the direction of enterprise level learning management systems which are great, but are too expensive to implement for a small/medium sized business. Moreover, even after you do implement such a learning management system, you are not done. You have just solved a part of the puzzle. You still have to buy online courses from wherever. If you are an individual, things are a little better off since you can find sites where you can take courses, but if you want to implement an e-learning initiative for your company, without breaking the bank, you have nowhere to go.
This led to the development of LMXonline by Portico Learning Solutions. LMXonline boasts of a course catalog comprising of more than 2,500 courses in a range of subjects from safety & health, HR, business certifications to IT skills. Customers get to use their learning management platform for free to assign courses to the employees, track their progress, run reports, and get online certificates. Another plus for an LMXonline user is the ease of use. Having all the needed courses on a variety of different subjects from IT to HR to sales and business skills at one central place, and also the ability to manage the training with the light-weight learning portal designed for companies definitely helps a lot of small and medium sized businesses implement online training without huge implementation costs.
