Learners benefit from an intuitive UI and immediate access to their training results.  Support is awesome - any question or technical issue is addressed immediately. The Accord LMS is absolutely fantastic given the cost and ease of use."

Needs
Catalyst Learning was moving from a non-compliant LMS that was hard to manage, required substantial fees for adding features, provided poor support and offered little security for their expanding training program.  They wanted an open-standards LMS that was extensible and scalable.
Most of their Learners have modest educations and come from different organizations spread around the United States.  Catalyst Learning needed an LMS that was simple to administer with an intuitive UI that both Managers and Learners could easily utilize without placing a load on their support.

Solution
The Accord LMS is a modern SCORM compliant LMS built upon DotNetNuke (DNN) – the leading open source CMS for Microsoft .NET.  Accord was designed from the ground up to seamlessly integrate, launch and track SCORM content, any of the thousands of off-the-shelf applications that plug and play into DNN as well as other local and remote resources.
Results were immediate and Catalyst Learning is still seeing improved ROI. Installation and upgrades have been trouble-free. Flexibility, ease of use, intuitive user interface and customizable features are “brilliant”. Accord LMS provides prompt and knowledgeable technical support.  With the optional software escrow, Catalyst Learning has the product, partner and assurance they need to confidently develop their new training platform.
