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.

Primarily used for personal (professional and leadership) development. We like to use Skillsoft Percipio as a true MOOC (open source content) that users can search on what they need when they need it whether on desktop or mobile app. The business case is to support aspiring and current leaders in their development activities by offering courses, books, book summaries, videos, video summaries, etc.
  • Refresh content
  • Easy to curate channels or learning journeys
  • Easy to onboard/offboard users
  • Dashboard
  • Account mgmt
  • Some of the course content is dated or set in an older studio
  • Termed licensed users ought to be put back into the pool of available licenses
  • My account team changes frequently, consistency would be nice
For open source content it is excellent, over 16000 learning assets to work with. In this case, you allow learners to search and select what they need, when they need it, and how it supports their learning style.
There are also uses cases where you need to curate a channel (compliance, DEI, etc.) where you can guide the learner and audiences to the content and track completion.
  • User easy onboarding (data feed)
  • User UI
  • Dashboard - activity views at a glance
  • Supports our leadership developmnet
  • Supports our aspiring leaders
  • Some technical use cases (project management, agile, etc.)
  • Learning as a career management tool and thus reducing term rate
It all depends on your use case, budget, technology lift, quality, etc. My users need to be satisfied #1, or else we go with another provider. #2 the cost needs to be in line. #3 the user onboard needs to be easy, etc. Skillsoft Percipio works for us, hits all the marks.

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.

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.
