In our experience, the "one size fits all" approach to learning management system (LMS) architecture is expensive and counterproductive. Most companies need an LMS that's much easier to implement and use than typical off-the-shelf LMS products.

Little Planet's SCORM-compliant LMS can be used as is or customized with your branding and functions. Our custom approach helps ensure that every feature of the LMS is implemented in accordance with your company's genuine needs. It results in a more intuitive and less cluttered feel for users and administrators, because the menus and feature sets correspond precisely to what is used.

Little Planet offers a number of pricing and deployment options. Whatever you choose, you'll find that your cost is consistently below that of using off-the-shelf solutions. If you're interested in establishing LMS capabilities, let us show you how we can help.

A content management system (CMS) is technology that provides resources for authoring, editing, storing, organizing and updating a company's knowledge assets. We can create a CMS for you that is engineered to your specific needs. Typical CMS functionalities include:

Content page authoring

• Check out content pages.
• Enter text.
• Upload images.
• Create anchor links.
• Create links to internal or external Web sites.
• Upload documents from the document library (accepted file formats are .doc, .xls, .ppt and .pdf).
• Access content page archives and restore archives.
• Identify the unique content page URL.

CMS administration

• Add/edit/delete menu items.
• Manage global headers and footers.
• Manage the document library.
• Manage the glossary.
• Manage user information (i.e., who has which authoring permissions).

Access to the CMS and its various functions can be controlled through the use of permissions specific to administrators, users and/or user groups based on the specific needs and content management duties of each.

Organizations just starting to use learning technology often begin with a knowledge management system (KMS). Little Planet offers KMS technology that we custom-engineer to serve the particular needs of your people and your organization.

Online repositories for company knowledge help sales and operations personnel look up critical information on a "just in time/just enough" basis. This ability helps employees deliver accurate information to customers, stakeholders and others in a timely manner.

As simple reference engines, Little Planet knowledge management systems are elegantly designed, intuitive and easy to update. People engage with a KMS because they need to look up specific facts quickly. At Little Planet, we always make sure that relevant information in the systems we build is never more than three clicks away.
