SMBs Need E-Learning “Services” Not “Products”
Technology Must Be Mixed With A Delivery Solution
Software and technologies are designed to support companies while facing business challenges. But what if the (supposed) solution generates new problems related to costs, time and actual software usage?
It sounds clear that, according to this scenario, the advantages cannot be appreciated, especially if we consider that companies are often facing problems like low budgets and staff turnover. This is why the technology itself must be mixed with a delivery solution able to satisfy different kinds of demand.
Small businesses don’t actually need expensive “old-school” products, but rather on-demand services, designed to be cost-effective and fast to deploy. They need something that works good, and they need it in a short time.
According to
latest technology trends, a great solution to this scenario has been identified in Cloud technology. The Cloud approach allows an easy software/service deployment on the web, that means no files to download, nor updates to be done. But, above all, this also means that companies don’t have to hire an IT consultant for software set-up, nor to pay for server tenancy and maintenance.
Being a powerful and flexible technology, the Cloud is able to adapt the service according to company’s actual needs. By featuring a “pay as you go” formula, this scalable approach usually brings significant savings, also because of the availability of monthly subscription plans instead of long-term licenses.
Even in a complex market like the E-Learning one, the Cloud allows companies to start their online project in a few minutes. It may sounds like a marketing claim, but when Cloud is mixed with a “SaaS” delivery method, it is actually able to bring online training projects to life without a waste of time and resources.
