Tampa, FL (PRWEB) November 17, 2015 -- eLogic Learning (eLogic) uses an agile development process for continuously enhancing the functionality of eSSential, its award-winning learning management system (LMS). This process benefits clients by making new functionality and workflows available more frequently. The enhanced functionality is made available to all clients as updates are completed multiple times throughout the year, unlike most LMS providers who only update their technology once or twice per year.

In 2015, eLogic has successfully launched eleven releases with a total of over 60 new LMS enhancements. The enhancements are made available at no additional fee, and they are delivered in a configurable fashion. eLogic’s release process gives clients the time to evaluate new features in a test environment before deciding if the features would offer value to introduce to their learners.

“One of the main philosophies that sets eLogic apart from our competitors is that we take a partnership approach to client relationships,” says Greg Shell, VP of Professional Services, eLogic Learning. “We use requests from our client base as the number one driver for product innovation. Our agile development process ensures we can take a great suggestion from a client and turn it into reality in weeks. This ensures our technology will continually support clients as their businesses inevitably evolve.”

eLogic’s LMS enhancement process is based on both client feedback and emerging trends in technology or learning. The eLogic leadership team develops the technology roadmap based on the impact to the client base. eLogic’s world-class development team then builds the new technology and releases feature enhancements every few weeks.

Highlights of eSSential LMS enhancements made available in 2015 include:

CHECKLISTS AND COMPETENCY MANAGEMENT
