Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Absorb is used as our Learning Management System. Our employees take e-learning courses through the platform, and log external training that they've taken on their own. Absorb also allows us to customize and run individual reports and dashboards. We also use it to share some company wide communications. Additionally it lets us collect feedback on training through the platform, send communications, create entire learning programs, and so much more.

Pros and Cons

The reporting feature in Absorb is very strong. Reports are customizable to your company needs and the Absorb Analyze feature is very helpful. Having the ability to create dashboards right from your learning platform builds efficiency especially in our company where we don't have a data visualization platform i.e. PowerBI or Tableau.
Absorbs ability to connect to course libraries such as GO1 is an amazing feature that opens up the learning possibilities and creates a unique benefit for our employees.
The Absorb engage features are a useful addition for communicating with our employees and gamifying learning. The billboards let us share information throughout the company. Leaderboards create incentive to complete training. Polls let us quickly gain insights on employee opinions.

We've encountered errors with certain trainings not marking complete and we have to go in and do this manually.
Within Absorb analyze, it would be useful to be able to create visualizations & reports using 2 different data sources.

Return on Investment

Through Absorb we are able to save time on tracking compliance training, reporting on L&D data, and identifying training to meet employee needs.
