Gartner Inc.'s 2002 LMS Magic Quadrant Report was release this week. The report evaluates the performance of more than 17 LMS vendors based on their ‘ability to execute’ and the completeness of their vision. According to Gartner, vendors listed as leaders in their annual evaluation of learning management system (LMS) providers are "companies that are doing well today and have great prospects for tomorrow." LMS vendors were evaluated on the size of their customer base, level of customer satisfaction, length of customer relationships, number of leading-edge customers, training resource management capabilities, content provider connectivity and strategic partner relationships, among other criteria.
The report lists THINQ Learning Solutions, Inc. as a "leader," citing the company's "Completeness of Vision" and "Ability to Execute," THINQ announced today.
