Books 24x7 is a versatile platform that is widely used across all Op Cos to address a diverse range of skills. Users have found the platform to be particularly helpful in developing both soft skills and technical skills. The extensive library offers a wide variety of books on leadership development, management, communication, and theory. This allows employees from different Op Cos to easily find relevant books for their roles, regardless of their skillset or background. One of the key advantages of Books 24x7 is its commitment to keeping the content up to date by regularly adding new books. This ensures that users have access to the latest information and resources available.

Skillport, another offering from Skillsoft, serves as an optional continuing education platform for admin employees. It allows them to take courses based on departmental and team discretion.

Furthermore, Skillport is widely used organization-wide for annual and specialty trainings, which are managed by the HR department.

Skillport is being used across the whole organization as our hosting platform for all aspects of company-wide training. Every employee here has access to Skillport where they see general training modules and also personalized ones that only they or their department might be required to take. It addresses the issue of hosting various types of workplace training and gives us a way to host them all in one place that is accessible and specific to each user.
  • Good capability to host all kinds of training types (PDF, Powerpoint, captivate-created training content, etc.)
  • Gives an easy way for me as an administrator to track completion of the training content through the reporting feature
  • Easy to add and remove users to certain training groups as needed
  • SCORM compliance compatibility with Adobe Captivate projects is sometimes difficult to get right. Projects sometime shows as half completed when they should be tracking as fully
  • I would like to see more kinds of reporting templates that can show more specific data to how a user has accessed a training project
  • Not a huge issue, but Skillport does take about 24 hours sometimes to track completion of training content
It is well suited in pretty much all aspects of our training here since it supports all of our training content types. It allows us to easily host and remove training content as we need. Every employee takes their required training through Skillport. I can't really think of scenarios where it isn't appropriate for us; we use it daily with all users.

  • Positively increased the number of staff taking the required trainings.
  • Positively allows us to have solid numbers on who takes the trainings and when.
  • Positively increased the general knowledge of our staff on workplace subjects through the diversity of training content we are able to host on the platform.
Both are great products, and very different, but both are designed around employee training and give ways to track completion of certain training content. Skillport is much more suited for general training though since it's a platform that can host a variety of training content, instead of just phishing. Skillport is used more for training for all departments.
Me and my other employees frequently reach out to support to address issues and they always help us in a timely manner. They are willing to work with you to solve and issue and are always available for help at any time. We haven't run into any instances where our problems didn't get solved.

We are using Skillsoft Books across the University and it is being used to support the professional development of our employees.
  • It provides most books in audio and eBook options.
  • You can download books for reading offline.
  • There are thousands of books available and they are constantly adding to their list.
  • Increase the number of books offered in both eBook and audiobook
  • Increase the catalog by creating a section for online articles not just books
It is well suited for enhancing your current curriculums and allowing learners the ability to expand their knowledge with current book selections. It is a valuable asset to eLearning courses and for developing your employees.
  • We have increased our usage by 300% and helped our employees develop new skills.
  • We have developed an online training program for new managers, those seeking certifications (SHRM, PMP and others) and looking to expand our programs even more.
  • There are so many books (thousands), it can be overwhelming for our employees.
We have looked at other vendors and none provide the well-known books at a reasonable cost to the institution.
We have standing meetings every month with our support team along with having a customer service portal with Knowledge Base and online support.
The ability to read and/or listen to books offline is very helpful especially while flying and in remote areas with no internet. The books are easy to load on your laptop, phone or tablet. This is invaluable.

It is used by the entire organization. It has been used for mandatory training and is also used for voluntary training. Skillport allows users to search for specific topics and enroll in various courses.
  • Wide selection of training courses.
  • Easy to use.

I think it is a great tool for knowledge expansion. I like that there are various lengths of trainings, some that can be completed in under an hour and some with greater detail.

  • I personally have annual developmental goals. I take various Skillport courses to meet these goals.
I haven't had the need to engage customer support.

Skillport is one of the continuing education platforms our organization has invested in for admin employees. While taking courses is not mandatory, our company offers the platform for departmental and team discretion. My workgroup has set yearly goals during strategy deployment for each member in the areas of growth determined by the team. Additionally, I have used Skillport to research audio, video, or text-based courses on my own in order to learn about a variety of topics relating to my personal and professional work.
  • Skillport offers a rather extensive range of topics for both personal and professional growth.
  • Skillport lessons are multi-channel and cater to a variety of learning styles.
  • Skillport's user interface is relatively dated compared to many of its competitors.
  • While the content library is large, much of the content appears to have come from at least 5-10 years ago.
The platform does a good job of offering a content offering fit for the needs of the business. My organization can select the learning courses that are offered in order to fit with the people and technologies we serve. The courses are structured well enough for users to pick up where they left off and in a way that enables them to listen or engage while performing work. The content itself allows individuals to learn technologies and concepts important to the professional world. I would say Skillsoft is best suited for individuals to choose their own learning path and to engage with the content that is suited for them. I would say it is less likely that users would actively engage with content if it was mandatory. Therefore, I would recommend managers put a lot of thought into the strategy they have for Skillsoft.

  • Access to quality educational content for employees to take advantage of and invest back into their work.
  • Technology training at scale - Users can access courses at any time apart from dedicated training sessions.
Skillsoft offers one of the more comprehensive learning platforms among its competitors. While the platform does appear dated at times with regard to the user interface, it does a really good job of offering a wide assortment of learning tools and features for interested individuals. I utilize Skillport primarily because of the paid access from my company and the wide variety of media content available based on my need and access at the time.
As one of the larger learning platforms in the market, Skillport receives additional content fairly regularly. This is something that is definitely necessary within the continuing education community. However, much like educational textbooks, changes do happen in the world that requires content to be updated and revised. This is where I believe Skillport has the most opportunity for growth. A best-in-class continuing education solution needs to remain up to date with the modern workforce in order to continually push boundaries and engaging users. Overall, I think Skillport does a great job of providing a platform for others to learn and succeed.
