8 Benefits of LMS in SaaS

We've already talked about how an LMS works and how to choose one. 

It's worth noting that there are SaaS and on-premises LMSs. Before the advent of Software as a Service (SaaS), it was necessary to install a program on the PC to use a particular software.
Thanks to SaaS software, you don't need to get installation files and mount them on a given pc (which will be the only one on which you can use the software in question, unless you purchase multiple licenses). All you need to do to use the software is to access the portal from any device connected to the internet. 

The LMS in SaaS works the same way as a local LMS, only you don't need to install the LMS and also the trainees will simply be able to connect from any system to complete the training.

Here are the 8 benefits that an LMS in SaaS brings

1. Quick training start

An LMS in SaaS can be deployed and made usable in zero time. You don't have to go through the steps of installing software (purchasing, setting up the infrastructure, installing and testing it); instead, you simply purchase the subscription and it's immediately available and ready to use.

2. Specialized skills? No thanks!

You don't need special skills or experts within your organization (or paid external consultants) to use and implement your LMS. The only thing you need is the subscription. 

3. Experts at your disposal 

SaaS LMSs are maintained and updated centrally by experts. So, even if there might be some accidental hiccups, there will always be experts available to solve technical issues as quickly as possible. 

4. Low Cost 

Over the years, the cost of an LMS in SaaS is much lower than a traditional LMS. There are no expenses for server maintenance, upgrade, bandwidth maintenance, etc.

5. Scalability

A very important parameter for LMS is the number of users in the platform (the trainees). An LMS in SaaS allows you to upgrade or downgrade the number of active trainees at the same time, without long waiting times or time-consuming programming. Once again, all you will have to think about is modifying the type of subscription according to organizational needs, so as to avoid wasting resources or enhancing your training tool. 

6. Accessibility from any device, anywhere

The LMS in SaaS allows accessibility from any device and from anywhere. This is not trivial in today's world, where remote working is becoming increasingly common. 

7. Integration

SaaS LMSs can be very quickly and easily integrated with other business software. https://www.elearningnews.it/it/e-learning-news-C-3/piattaforme-elearning-C-9/le-7-integrazioni-lms-che-miglioreranno-il-tuo-business-AR-1117/ For example, it can be used to train all business stakeholders (partners, employees, customers), for gamification, to conduct webinars with customers and employees, it can be integrated with CRM and HR management data.

8. Security

SaaS-based LMSs, being managed by technology experts, have a very high level of security, often certified. Administrators or trainees don't have to worry about implementing extra layers of security.
