Software as a Service (SaaS) is quickly catching on as the preferred way for organizations to acquire access to business applications because it eliminates all the headaches, hassles and risks associated with traditional software. As you might expect, many learning software providers are trying to jump on the SaaS bandwagon by either retro-fitting their traditional LMS software for delivery over the Internet, or merely claiming to be SaaS by attaching monikers like “on demand,” “hosted” or “ASP (Application Service Provider)” to their product names.

IN THIS CASE STUDY
Virtual classroom technology is reaching mainstream acceptance
as a platform for rapid and blended learning. As a result, large
and mid-size enterprises are beginning to offer virtual instructorled
training (vILT) to a wider audience of learners. Hitachi Data
Systems, a leader in the data storage market, has established
a framework for developing and delivering vILT, including
process flow, best practices, and instructional guidelines and
recommendations. Virtual classroom technology is delivered via a
fully hosted, on-demand, software-as-a-service application.

IDC OPI NION
A renewed sense of optimism associated with surging profits and revenue growth is
beginning to drive investments in workforce development at many organizations.
However, fiscal responsibility and recent cost-cutting measures are still fresh in the
minds of senior training and development executives. These professionals are also
cognizant of the need to invest their staff and resources in initiatives that drive key
performance indicators (e.g., time to market, customer retention) for the businesses
they support. This IDC benchmarking study suggests that as these professionals
attempt to align their personnel and operations with the needs of their enterprises,
they have an opportunity to streamline the time and money spent on administrative
processes. To this end, IDC believes that these training and development executives
should investigate sourcing models that enable access to shared infrastructure and
services.

During the five years that I’ve been the eLearning Director for a custom eLearning development company, I’ve spoken to a myriad of people looking to develop eLearning and have made hundreds of presentations demonstrating our capabilities as an eLearning provider. The expertise and development experience of those I’ve spoken with vary widely. Some people are brand-new to eLearning having never developed a course while others have extensive experience in this arena. As their expertise varies, so does the quality of their development experiences. Some have been positive, others have been negative. Regardless of the starting point, the article that follows discusses some key factors that must be addressed in order to ensure a successful eLearning development project.
