Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Litmos content improves our agility to move with the fast-paced economy/workplace. Staying up to date on compliance and offering more education around ED&I has fast-tracked what we can offer the business, enabling our in-house design to focus on the truly unique to us content. This enables us to spend time on bespoke content that fully supports the unique areas of our business. The LMS is heavily customisable and ensures we can create a personalised learner experience for our regions and brands.

Pros and Cons

HTML, CSS and JavaScript customisation - make it look and function how you want
Compliance learning and annual retakes
Administration of learners, teams and managers

Basic UI. If you don't have the ability to customise, I feel this is an area that could be improved.
Automatically add managers to notifications (not just escalations). I'd like to tell managers about the good stuff, not just the bad.
Reporting dashboards are currently quite basic so we're building a PowerApp to create more transparency across the business. It would be much better if this was in the Litmos app instead.

Return on Investment

Reduced classroom training requirement
enabled automation
Easier reporting of L&D information

Alternatives Considered

Kallidus LMS, Cornerstone OnDemand and Docebo Learning Suite

Enabled us to customise more and came in cheaper, despite having very similar functionality. Having used 2 of the LMS above, Litmos has a richer feature set and also iterates their system more regularly. In a competitive market, Litmos has managed to become one of the leaders in the space and hopefully will continue to innovate moving forward.

Themes to get people started would be a great idea e.g. light mode vs dark mode, different colours etc... The vanilla LMS could do with a UI makeover - global search from homepage, dynamic dashboards...
