The market for learning and performance management platforms is undergoing significant change. One area in particular is the growth of software-as-a-service solutions, also known as on-demand. This approach enables learning and performance solution providers to consolidate and integrate many technologies into a single, best-of-breed enterprise learning solution. In this Talent Management magazine Webinar — sponsored by GeoLearning — Chris Howard, principal analyst and research director at Bersin & Associates, will define exactly what software as a service is, how it's different from “on premises” software and identify its business advantages for learning organizations. He’ll also separate hype from reality and debunk some of the myths about SaaS related to scalability, security and configurability. Finally, Howard will share some important questions to ask potential vendors when evaluating on-demand learning and performance management systems.
