Many smaller companies do not have the ability to invest in a large scale LMS or integrated Talent Management software. At the same time, some larger companies are not seeing the ROI from vast libraries of self-paced courses. This session addresses the question, How can we leverage cloud-based solutions in a way that appears seamless to our employees while enabling the organization to be more nimble and avoid being locked into expensive, long term programs.

How have you overcome challenges like single sign-on to make access to a cloud based system user friendly?
How do you maintain updated employee records/profiles (data) with different cloud based applications?
How do you stay up-to-date on what’s available in the marketplace?
What’s your greatest current need in this space?
What is the greatest downside or risk to this type of cloud-based approach?
