Traditional LMS: a structured and centralized solution

A learning management system (LMS) is designed for large companies with significant training management needs.
These platforms enable content centralization, detailed learner tracking, and a well-defined learning structure. They remain a reference for organizations requiring a formal framework and advanced skills management.

Scalability for large organizations

An LMS is built to handle a high volume of learners and training programs. It helps structure learning paths, track performance, and certify skills over the long term.

A structured and customizable framework

These platforms offer advanced features such as module creation, reporting, and certification, making them well-suited for regulatory or industry-specific training.

Designed for long and in-depth training

Traditional LMS platforms focus on comprehensive learning paths, often in the form of long and detailed courses that require a significant time investment.

Leading solutions in the market

Platforms like Cornerstone, Moodle, and TalentLMS are widely used by large organizations looking for a formalized approach to training management.

Modern & collaborative LMS: a more flexible alternative

Modern LMS retain the essential features of traditional LMS while integrating more interactive and collaborative tools. Their goal is to facilitate corporate learning by making training more accessible and engaging.

More diverse learning formats

These platforms combine e-learning, interactive videos, and collaboration to adapt to different learning styles.

Better integration with existing tools

Designed to be more open, these LMS easily connect to HR tools, CRM, or communication platforms, making adoption easier.

Improved engagement, but variable

With features like comments, social interactions, and real-time feedback, the experience is more engaging than with a traditional LMS. However, adoption can vary depending on usage and learner profiles.

Well-established solutions on the market

Platforms like 360Learning and Docebo are among the leading solutions for more interactive learning, though they remain based on a traditional LMS framework.
