1. Identify business needs: Determine the learning goals and objectives for your business. What training needs do your employees have? What kind of courses and materials will they require to achieve these goals? Which reports and statistics do you want the users to see in order to make decisions?
2. Research different LMS providers: Once you have identified your business needs and technical requirements, research different LMS providers. Read reviews, compare features and prices, and assess the overall suitability of the LMS for your company’s requirements.
3. Consider the ease of use: How easy is it to use the LMS for both administrators, senior management, HR, middle managers and employees? Remember that it can quickly become too complex and extensive and that it can pay to choose the solution that does not have the most functions.
4. Seek input from stakeholders: Involve the employees, managers and trainers in the process so that they can give their input along the way. Get feedback on the ease of use, features and overall satisfaction with the LMS.
5. Consider support and training: What kind of customer support and training is offered by the LMS provider? What is the availability and quality of their support? Here it may be wise to consider whether you should choose a large international supplier or go for a local one with whom you can have a closer dialogue and influence.
6. Test the LMS: Before making a final decision, test the LMS with a trial version or demo that is as similar as possible to the version you receive after purchase. This will allow you to assess the ease of use of the platform, as well as its features and functionality.
7. Consider scalability: Can the LMS scale as your organization grows or shrinks?
8. Make a decision: After you’ve evaluated different LMS vendors and received feedback from stakeholders, make a decision that aligns with your business needs, technical requirements, and budget.

Remember that choosing an LMS is an important decision that will have a significant impact on your business. Taking the time to carefully consider your options and seek input from stakeholders will ensure you choose a learning platform that meets your business needs and helps achieve your learning goals.
