| LMS Selection Service Packages |
| Testing Gurus & Final Report - Superior to prioritizing, comparing and contrasting hundreds of features and functions, UpSearch works with you to develop use case scripts that documents exactly what your organization needs from a LMS. We use the scripts as a rubric for evaluating learning platforms and include in final report. |
| Demo Guides [Facilitate Scripted Vendor Demos] - In order to be certain a LMS performs as you need it to, UpSearch invites your vendor shortlist to demonstrate their solutions. We fashion your customized systems requirements list into a scripted demo and lead each vendor through the demonstration to ensure scripts are followed and fit your requirements. Along with your team, UpSearch grades and tallies results for final evaluation. |
| Selection Specialist – UpSearch helps you narrow the list of 150+ LMS vendors on two occasions. First, we help you decide who to invite into the RFP process based on your requirements, independent research and our industry expertise. We then help you sort through proposals and create a short list, typically 3 to 5 LMS vendors. Based on your unique criteria, we compress the selection process by helping you spend time with the right LMS vendors. |
| Proposal Evaluators - UpSearch has a detailed plan for evaluating company background, IT specifications, itemized comparison of bid pricing, evaluation of durations (within industry standards), and tools for stakeholder team reviewers. |
| RFP Creators - UpSearch has developed specific Request for Proposal (RFP) tools to ensure a consistent bid, estimations of custom work and durations, and an apples-to-apples comparison of proposals. We will work closely with your project team to create the ideal RFP to ensure continuity; based on your organization’s specific needs, using your criteria, our industry expertise and extensive research. |
| Requirements Consultants - UpSearch collaborates with your team to develop a Project Charter, including purpose, sponsorship & stakeholders, objectives, scope and strategy to ensure your unique requirements are intentionally documented. UpSearch’s proven LMS selection methodology meaningfully reduces time investments, while simultaneously ensures optimal decision making. |
| Trusted Advisors - UpSearch provides advice and recommendations, shares best practices, price ranges for LMS solutions, features/functions vs. price, scope evaluation (balance needs vs. wants), feasibility assessment, learning governance advice, roles, implementation advice, rolling out new strategies through your learning platform, etc. |
