Our research, available to Bersin by Deloitte WhatWorks members shows that $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion will be spent globally in 2014. In the U.S. in 2013, 15 percent of training spending went to learning technologies, the largest percentage it has been since we began tracking this metric.1 (See Figure 1.)

SaaS-based systems and flexible pricing models—this is a buyer’s market.
What Leaders Need to Know
• The first question to ask is, “What are our goals?” The answer to this question will dictate the choices you consider in this provider-rich market. If your organization is focused on integrated talent management, you will select from talent management systems that place career, development planning, profiles, and competencies front and center, with the LMS operating behind the scenes.
If your goal is to effectively manage a high volume of training, you do not need the overhead of an integrated talent management system and you will look to the traditional LMS market. This market includes a number of new players, as well as specialized providers, that focus on specific business issues, such as compliance for healthcare, oil, or financial institutions.
• This is a global market with no clear leaders. You do not have to stick with the top dogs. There could be a great provider in your own backyard if your company is a global organization looking for a provider close to your key location.

• New social capabilities are emerging around both learning and talent management systems. Early adopters are buying social platforms at the departmental level to educate themselves and to test the value of these applications. These capabilities are not yet integrated into mainstream platforms. Organizations that understand the most effective social applications for their strategy will be in the best position to assess next-generation providers as they integrate these capabilities.
