4Can you explain an overall perspective of usage of the LMS? Is it really useful or applicable to us?
Well, irrespective of the industry domain, developing the attitude, skill, and knowledge (ASK) of every employee or any staff is an utmost important factor in the overall growth of an organization. In order to train the employee in certain skills, we have to plan for his / her training, schedule classroom sessions, book a trainer or an instructor and take care of many other logistical aspects too. Moreover, if it involves the people involved to travel to the training location, it further adds up to the training cost.
With an LMS, the overall effort and the cost of all these activities drastically gets reduced. Besides, the current pandemic situation has intensified the need of online training, all the more.
Apart from employee training, you can also use the LMS to educate your customers and the partner community like the dealers, agents, distributors, etc. Communicate and train them on your new product, service, or updates about it. Also, track who consumes what content.
5It must be costing a lot.

We also do the white labeling (modifying the user interface to show the client logo, banner, color scheme, etc.).
