                            According to a 2024 industry survey, 68% of HR directors cite "inadequate reporting and audit trails" as their primary frustration. Without a unified corporate training platform, organisations struggle to prove training completion during audits, track skills progression, and align L&D investment with business KPIs. The shift from isolated tools to an integrated LMS architecture is no longer optional — it's a competitive necessity.

Imagine an OSHA safety course: the system automatically enrolls warehouse staff every 12 months, sends reminders, and generates audit-ready transcripts with zero manual follow-ups.

                            Many large organisations consider building a custom LMS to retain full control. While appealing, internal builds often exceed budgets and timelines by 200–300%. Hidden costs include security compliance (SOC2, ISO), mobile development, SCORM engine licensing, and ongoing maintenance.

                            The build vs. buy analysis should consider: time-to-value (custom builds take 12–18 months), scalability, and innovation velocity. Most HR leaders conclude that a "buy and extend" approach — using robust APIs to connect the LMS with existing CRM, HRIS, and collaboration tools — yields faster ROI. A configurable platform with expert support outperforms both extremes.
