Docebo
The LMS you need, the social learning experience your learners want, powered by Artificial Intelligence. Automate learning management, facilitate informal learning, and personalize the learner experience to make learning your competitive advantage.
In a galaxy not so far away, Absorb LMS and Docebo, those two cloud-based learning systems, share many things in common, like being able to handle every kind of content you can throw at them—SCORM, xAPI or perhaps even a well-placed sandwich recipe. They also come equipped with mobile apps, so you can learn while you're on the go, avoiding the awkward eye contact on public transport. If you're fond of data, you'll be pleased to know that both offer detailed analytics and reporting, and, of course, they support social learning with forums and discussions—because who doesn’t want to discuss the existential meaning of online training with strangers?

Now, Absorb LMS, the Canadian-born product, has been around since 2003, catering to businesses that may not yet be as large as the Empire, but still require a robust and user-friendly learning experience. It’s designed with simplicity in mind, perfect for companies who want to automate training without overwhelming their employees. Absorb’s special trick is integrating smoothly with HR and talent management systems, ensuring that your learning data doesn’t end up floating aimlessly in the void.

Then there's Docebo, the Italian creation from 2005, which isn’t exactly for the faint-hearted. This one is built for the enterprise-class, big organizations that need all the bells and whistles—customization, scalability and enough AI-powered features to make you wonder if the learning system is smarter than you. With its marketplace full of third-party content, Docebo ensures you can fill the void of knowledge with practically anything you need, from advanced corporate training to the art of pizza-making (maybe).
