Seattle, Washington—September 25, 2014

Earlier this month Totara LMS—an open source distribution of Moodle—was named one of the Top 20 Learning Portal Companies for a third consecutive year by TrainingIndustry.com. Up against long-time players like Skillsoft, Totara LMS has quickly distinguished itself as a key competitive player since arrival on the market in 2011.

TrainingIndustry.com’s comprehensive analysis on top learning portals rates products on the following six factors for which Totara LMS ranked high in all:

  •     Breadth of functionality and capabilities criteria
  •     Commitment to the corporate training industry
  •     Industry visibility, innovation and impact
  •     Number and strength of clients
  •     Geographic reach
  •     Company size and growth potential

Specifically, Totara LMS was ranked high for the platform’s flexibility, price and ability to be quickly and efficiently implemented into both small to large organizations. If organizations do not have IT development capabilities or want to outsource for cost reduction, partner organizations like Lambda Solutions provide these specialized services for small to large organizations.

An additional reason why Totara was rated so high was due to the fact that organizations do not have to pay for licensing fees. The subscription-based learning platform comes with all the key features expected from enterprise-grade LMSs and more. With capabilities that extend above proprietary LMSs, Totara is guaranteed to be 80% more cost effective than competitors. Shevy Levy, CEO of Lambda Solutions—an organization who specializes in Totara managed hosting, implementation and custom development confirms her confidence in Totara in the following statement:
