Once the customer purchases the LMS software, it becomes his property. The client gets full control over the software and eventually is cost-effective in the long run. The use of SharePoint as an LMS works with the existing security model and the third-party extensions\/apps, while still providing high customization opportunities. It is the preferred option for companies that have internal resources for LMS implementation and maintenance.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>Cloud Hosting<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradisosolutions.com\/blog\/saas-learning-management-system\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=using%20sharepoint%20as%20an%20lms\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SaaS LMS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is useful especially for those companies who want to get the LMS implemented in the shortest span of time. Also, the ones who want to start delivering learning without any delays in deployment.

However, when a company doesn\u2019t want to invest a lot of money initially over the extras, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradisosolutions.com\/blog\/cloud-lms\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=using%20sharepoint%20as%20an%20lms\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud LMS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the best option.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>Single Sign-on when using Sharepoint as an LMS<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradisosolutions.com\/blog\/lms-sso-feature\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=using%20sharepoint%20as%20an%20lms\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Single Sign-On (SSO)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the feature that helps a user log in to the LMS when he signs into SharePoint. This feature works with other integrations as well. When both platforms integrate, there is a \u2018training\u2019 tab that gets generated in the SharePoint\u2019s interface. By simply clicking on that tab, the user can access the LMS. No more remembering of a separate set of passwords for two different platforms.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>User Data Synchronization between platforms<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you start using Sharepoint as an LMS it will automatically sync when these two platforms blend. The main advantage of this is that whenever there is an update of user registries in any one of the platform, the information gets automatically updated in the other platform. The use of Sharepoint as an LMS will also play an important role in reducing the errors associated with manual entry of data in two portals.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>Content Creation and Collaboration by using Sharepoint as an LMS<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Content can be created in SharePoint and can be imported to the LMS very easy.

This will help ease the workflow associated with training the employees. Especially, if the company is smaller in size and does not have a training department, divisions or departments dedicated to training, they can use Sharepoint as an LMS.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>Using SharePoint as an LMS will save you costs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the LMS sits on top of SharePoint, the SharePoint learning management system becomes beneficial especially for those companies who\u2019ve already invested in Microsoft SharePoint. This will help the organization benefit greatly not only from the end-user point of view but also from an operational point of view. The main reason behind using SharePoint as an LMS is that it can be used as an Intranet Portal, an Extranet Portal or to handle your project entirely. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>Supports SCORM Courses<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By using Sharepoint as an LMS it will come with an in-house online course authoring tool, named Paradiso Composer.
