The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Learning Management Suites, Q1 2008

Saba, SumTotal Systems Tie For Lead With Plateau Systems Hot On Their Heels

by Claire Schooley

with Connie Moore, Jamie Barnett


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

In Forrester's 90-criteria evaluation of learning management system (LMS) vendors, we found that Saba, SumTotal Systems, and Plateau Systems lead the pack by providing feature-rich offerings and serving a broad international customer base. GeoLearning also climbed into the Leader category with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) only product. SAP, Cornerstone OnDemand, and CERTPOINT Systems are "cuspids" — they now straddle the Leader and Strong Performer categories by deepening their product functionality over the last year. Oracle PeopleSoft, Mzinga (formerly KnowledgePlanet), and OutStart are Strong Performers that offer a solid learning solution. Oracle Learning Management (OLM) and Learn.com are lower in the Strong Performer category, with Learn.com offering a good SaaS solution and OLM providing learning management functionality for existing Oracle eBusiness suite customers.
