Elearnity announces Vendor Perspectives

Cirencester, UKLearning NewsFosway

Elearnity, Europe’s leading independent learning industry analyst, announced Elearnity Perspectives, a new tool for assessing learning technology vendor options and suitability for corporate needs.

The Learning Technology Market is diverse and complex. It is a specialist market, with specialist vendors offering a wide range of competing solutions. Whether you’re brand new to the market, or already have experience of working with vendors, it is still difficult to get an objective, independent view of which vendors you should consider, how those vendors really work with corporate clients, and who you should choose who to work with.

As Europe’s leading analyst research corporate learning technology and innovation, Elearnity has been providing private advice vendors for many years, and has a deep insight on vendor performance from our corporate research process and independent vendor briefing programme.

Elearnity’s Vendor Perspectives distil these detailed insights into a unique structured report, that shares this understanding using “Which?”-style ratings and commentary of 10+ Functional Factors , and 20+ Core Factors. They assess a range of characteristics covering: Market Presence and Scalability, Ease of Delivery, Enterprise Flexibility, Solution Capability, Corporate & User Experience, and Cost – Implementation & Ownership. Factor ratings are also summarised in a spider-diagram format.

What’s unique about these reports is that they are all taken from an EMEA perspective and they appreciate the diverse corporate needs that environment creates.

“Elearnity Perspectives really capture our deeper understanding of vendor capabilities and performance,” said David Wilson, Elearnity’s founder and managing director, “they capture the experiences of our corporate research network, as well as the analysis from our independent vendor briefings, providing a powerful decision support tool to accelerate and de-risk corporate thinking.”

Why do Companies need an Elearnity Vendor Perspective?

Genuinely benchmarking solutions is a critical activity for anyone whose business is focussed on Learning Technology. To do this quickly and successfully it’s important to have an independent, objective and expert view. This is especially true when:

• assessing options into new approaches,
• re-evaluating existing solutions,
• keeping track of new suppliers and products, or
• simply re-affirming the choices that have already made.

In today’s busy corporate world, very few have the luxury of the time need to constantly keep track. Elearnity’s Perspectives provide a short-cut straight to the clearest unbiased view of the market.
