Looking for some tips on how to select an LMS. My company will possibly need to change LMS systems, but we don’t really know how to go about selecting a new one. Can someone help me with some tips and tricks that can guide us in the right direction. Thanks!

Being aware of your use case, and the budgetary provision will help you decide better.

Going for the demos with a clear set of expectations will do the trick for you.

There are so many threads all over the internet to help you decide the right LMS. You may check out Adobe eLearning community or eLearning industry for the same.

Hi Adam_Smith you could do what Elina says. I would like to share my 2 cents as this is something that i have done in one of my previous roles. Onboarding the right LMS for your organization is an exercise that can easily last 6 months. At a very high level, I would like highlight the following:

Define your objectives and requirements
Involve key stakeholders
Assess user-friendliness
Scalability and flexibility
Mobile accessibility
Content creation and management
Reporting and analytics
Support and training
Integration capabilities
Security and compliance
Cost and pricing structure
User feedback and reviews
Trial and demo
Vendor reputation
Contract terms and exit strategy
Future-proofing

There are some excellent articles on elearningindustry.com that can be leveraged as well.

Here is a great article on cloud-based LMS options. It’s pretty current:

So often, the requirements are decided by people using the back end of an LMS system (management, admins) but don’t forget to get some regular employees involved in the selection process. After all, they are the ones who will use it the most. Here are some resources to help.
