Last month Saba, a pioneer in the market for enterprise learning and talent management systems , held its annual customer conference (more than 700 learning and HR professionals attended). I had a chance to meet with the management team, talk with many customers and employees, and talk with Saba’s new owners (Vector Capital).

SAP, Oracle and ADP still have different applications for HR and learning, but the integration is becoming more urgent every day. I don’t predict the end of big systems like Saba, SumTotal, SAP or any other LMS vendor overnight.

Saba Software, one of the pioneers in enterprise learning technology, was founded less than 20 years ago, and since then the market has exploded. Companies like Oracle, SuccessFactors and Workday are doing great things to extend this model, but the days of the LMS being the “place people go to learn” are more or less over.

The behemoth TM providers such as Oracle or SuccessFactors devalued the LMS when they incorporated their LMSs into broader HR software suites and took their foot off the innovation accelerator. Workday, accustomed to disrupting the broader finance and HR enterprise software industry, has decided to now target LMS. This is big news.
