We're pleased to announce that Absorb LMS customer, COLA, has won a Silver Excellence In Learning Award from Brandon Hall Group in the category of Best in Learning Technology Implementations for their submission “COLA’S New E-Learning Experience.”

The winning entry describes COLA's move to Absorb LMS from an open source learning management system and reports the following benefits and return on investment:

COLA is spending less on the Absorb platform than it did on the old proprietary system. Further, because it is an internally hosted solution, there is no external hardware dependency. Indeed, updates to the materials available by the solution can be made by multiple COLA staffers. COLA no longer needs to hire a vendor to print certificates, and COLA customer service staffers have experienced a 50 percent drop in customer complaints since the new tool went online.

Factoring in all savings to date, COLA estimates its reduction in costs to be $60,000 since the new system went online.

In addition to spending less, COLA is selling more. COLA experienced a measurable spike in sales of its educational products and services.
