An LMS also can perform many tasks and assessments automatically, eliminating the need to deploy or add full-time staff to oversee these efforts.<\/p>\n<p>When considering any LMS software or services, agency officials or company leaders should make sure that the LMS can perform several core functions, including:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Enable an organization to schedule, deliver and track the completion of online CBT courses and instructor-led courses (ILCs).<\/li>\n<li>Automatically produce and distribute a wide range of reports.<\/li>\n<li>Automatically email users about course schedules, testing requirements, and more.<\/li>\n<li>Store the software and background materials in the cloud or on the organization\u2019s servers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>An LMS also enables an LMS administrator to readily identify opportunities to add new information concerning procedures, skills, and corporate culture to existing CBT and ILCs, keeping the training up to date.<\/p>\n<p>Global-5 CBT and LMS experts <a href=\"\/leadership\/#chris-addison\">Chris Addison<\/a> and <a href=\"\/leadership\/#fidela-balamani\">Fidela Balamani<\/a> point out that an LMS can be customized to fit the unique needs of nearly any organization, regardless of its size, budget, business sector, or area of service.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about Global 5\u2019s <a href=\"\/services\/#knowledge-transfer\">CBT and Learning Management Systems services<\/a> and the impressive experience of its experts, please contact <a href=\"\/leadership\/#matt-hamill\">Matt Hamill<\/a> at <a href=\"mailto:matt@global-5.com\">matt@global-5.com<\/a> or 407-571-6760.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4713-Global5-Learning-Management-Systems-LMS-Article-1920x1080-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-454686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4713-Global5-Learning-Management-Systems-LMS-Article-1920x1080-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/global-5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4713-Global5-Learning-Management-Systems-LMS-Article-1920x1080-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global-5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4713-Global5-Learning-Management-Systems-LMS-Article-1920x1080-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global-5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4713-Global5-Learning-Management-Systems-LMS-Article-1920x1080-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global-5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4713-Global5-Learning-Management-Systems-LMS-Article-1920x1080-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/global-5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4713-Global5-Learning-Management-Systems-LMS-Article-1920x1080-1-960x540.jpg 960w, https:\/\/global-5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4713-Global5-Learning-Management-Systems-LMS-Article-1920x1080-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/global-5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4713-Global5-Learning-Management-Systems-LMS-Article-1920x1080-1-1138x640.jpg 1138w, https:\/\/global-5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4713-Global5-Learning-Management-Systems-LMS-Article-1920x1080-1-800x450.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global-5\u2019s learning management system experts offer lessons learned from their years of experience.
