Expert panel recognizes the connected learning, skills, and performance platform built for lean HR and L&D teams

Bridge, a learning, skills and performance platform for mid-market organizations, has been named one of the 10 best learning management systems for 2027 by eLearning Industry. The list is selected by a panel of LMS experts from a market of more than 1,000 providers. It scores each system on core LMS functionality, additional features, expert evaluation, usability, reviews and recognition, and value for price.

eLearning Industry described Bridge as a platform that “helps busy HR and L&D teams build skills, develop people, and understand their workforce.”

What sets Bridge apart

Most learning systems stop at courses and completions. Bridge goes further by connecting what people learn to the skills they build and how they perform:

Career paths employees can see: Employees see exactly which skills close the gap to their next role. Leaders can spot organization-wide gaps before they become a problem.
Performance and learning in one place: Goals, one-on-ones and performance conversations live alongside training, so managers can act on what they see.
AI that works with the tools teams already use: Bridge’s MCP Connector links an organization’s AI tool of choice, such as ChatGPT or Claude, directly to Bridge’s training and skills data.

“Lean HR and L&D teams don’t have time to stitch together five different tools to understand their people,” said Nichole Marconi, vice president of marketing at Bridge. “Bridge gives them one place to build skills, guide careers, and run performance conversations. Being named one of the best LMSs for 2027 by a panel of experts tells us that approach is setting the standard and customers see the results in their day-to-day work.”

The recognition adds to a strong 2026 for Bridge. The company also won the Training Magazine Network Choice Award in the Learning Management Systems category and was named to eLearning Industry’s Top 20 People’s Choice LMS Software list, Training Industry’s 2026 Top Learning Management System Companies list, and Talented Learning’s 2026 LMS Awards as a Best Employee LMS.
