State of Enterprise Content Management ECM software market $3.9 billion in 2008 Knowledge mgmt professionals drive growth Manage unstructured content Mitigate content-related risks Leverage content for use in business © 2009 Xyleme - All rights reserved Learning Content Mgmt
LCM communicates / interoperates little with ECM Training professionals cannot effectively leverage content being used in other parts of the organization. Training professionals are not contributors, but only consumers of shared content. Enterprise CM vs. Learning CM © 2009 Xyleme - All rights reserved ECM LCM E-Learning Reusable learning objects Assessments Workflow Collaboration Web 2.0
Most enterprise content is useful for training purposes When LCM operates in isolation, content suffers: Content development cycles are longer Customization (derivative work) is manual It is difficult to leverage content across global business units Translation costs increase Lack of consistency Training Needs Enterprise Content © 2009 Xyleme - All rights reserved
Plugging Learning into the Enterprise ECM has grown into a major software category via consolidation of point solutions to provide: A cross-departmental scope Business-process driven implementations Strong cost savings Learning is positioned to ride the next wave of consolidation © 2009 Xyleme - All rights reserved
ECM Tools Can Meet Learning Needs © 2008 Xyleme - All rights reserved LCM Stand alone LCM relies on it’s own development of CM functionality. ECM has a mature set of best-of-breed tools that can handle training’s requirements. Workflow Web2.0 Collaboration Should vendors reinvent the CM wheel or spend valuable resources on unique training requirements? Training standards: SCORM, QTI, Common Cartridge Assessments, Adaptive Sequencing, Interactivity Multiple Delivery Formats, LMS Integration XML-based content is the enabling technology ECM LCM
Why XML Matters XML is the standard for content sharing Often you need more than one XML standard Learning SCORM Common Cartridge Technical Docs DITA S1000D LCM as a stand-alone system Most LCMS are not XML-based LCMS cannot deal with standards outside learning © 2009 Xyleme - All rights reserved
Content Development Challenges © 2009 Xyleme - All rights reserved Top five business pressures and strategic actions for documentation Business PressuresStrategic Actions Increased demand for concise and customized documentation 55% Reuse textual content for documentation 67% Shortened documentation lifecycle constraints 49% Publish in multiple delivery formats (paper, electronic and web) 53% Growing complexity of products 48% Reuse design content for documentation 29% Reduced documentation budgets and resources 44% Reuse existing translated content 23% Increased focus on customer satisfaction 36% Customize documentation for customer segments 23% Business pressures are similar for training It takes 34 hours of development to create 1 hour of ILT It takes 33 hours of development to take ILT and convert it to 1 hour of e-Learning The biggest barrier to mobile adoption is that the e-learning cannot be effectively transformed to a mobile format Source: Aberdeen
