TECHNOLOGY ALIGNMENT
We are at an exciting, but often confusing point in the evolution of learning technologies and many organizations are struggling with which technologies make sense for their learning business – and how to get the best results from those learning technologies. We can guide you in selecting, implementing, and fully leveraging a learning management system (LMS) or other critical learning technologies. Out goal is to help you reduce risk, accelerate time to market, and by choosing the right technologies, avoid unnecessary costs, and maximize the return on your technology investments.
Platform Selection
For most organizations, selecting the right learning management system, virtual conference platform, or other key learning technologies is confusing territory. Understanding all of the options – much less making a choice – can be overwhelming. At Tagoras, we we have deep experience implementing learning management systems and addressing related challenges – like integrating with membership management systems. We can help you make the right choice, reduce risk, and get to market faster.
Technology Audit and ROI
Many organizations have licensed and implemented a range of learning technologies at this point, but few are getting the level of return from them that they had hoped for and expected. We can assess your full learntech ecosystem and how it interfaces with broader organizational technologies to determine where you can make high-value changes and improvements.
What Sets Us Apart
Unlike most learning technology consultants, we have hands-on experience designing, building, and implementing learning platforms. At our previous company, Isoph, we built the first LMS specifically designed for use by continuing education providers and for integration with association management systems. We implemented our platform at a wide range of organizations, from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) to the American Academy for Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (AAPM&R)
Unlike most learning technology consultants, we have been tracking and researching platforms that fit the specific needs of market-facing learning businesses since we published our first Association Learning Management Systems report in 2009.
And, unlike most learning technology consultants, our work has focused specifically on platforms for market-facing learning businesses (not corporate training departments, not academic institutions) for more than 20 years. We have now helped hundred of organizations both directly and indirectly in making well-informed learning platform choices.
So, we can say with complete confidence that there are no individuals or firms that match Tagoras for in-depth knowledge of technologies for continuing education and professional development initiatives.
What Our Clients Say
Finding the right LMS to meet the complex needs of our organization was a daunting prospect. Tagoras took us through a well-defined, structured process that reflected a clear understanding of our business needs as well as our education needs. We were able to focus in rapidly on the most appropriate learning management systems, and are confident that we have made a good choice. I’d recommend Tagoras to any organization that wants to greatly reduce the complexity and risk inherent in selecting major new technologies.
Fran Biddle
Chief Financial Officer
Institute for Functional Medicine
We hired Tagoras to assist ISTH in looking at our existing e-learning platform and evaluating our needs. We had heard of Tagoras from their thought-leadership, presentations at conferences, reports, and recommendations from other organization. Celisa Steele led our project, and she helped us to scope our needs and select a technology partner to take our e-learning efforts forward. Celisa’s expertise and guidance provided enormous support to us and allowed us to tap into expertise we did not have in house, ask the right questions, and qualify our actual needs. Given her and Tagoras’s experience identifying possible partners, crafting a professional RFP and ultimately making the selection has been professional as well as time- and cost- effective and provided an outcome that had full board support. Engaging Tagoras and particularly Celisa has been one of the smartest investments we could have made.
Thomas Reiser
Executive Director
International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH)
We engaged Jeff Cobb and Tagoras to help our association develop a technology investment plan. Jeff conducted appropriate research and ultimately provide a report that will serve as our roadmap for investing resources into the most critical technology projects. He was sensitive to our association’s size and capacity and provided recommendations that were practical yet will help us move forward smartly in serving members more effectively through technology.
