"[True ASPs] are differentiated from other LMS providers in that their only offering is as an ASP. So their business, technology, and operational structure is optimized for delivering learning management as a service-not a product. An example of a vendor in this category is GeoLearning."
Chris Howard, Principal Analyst
Bersin & Associates

"We were especially pleased with the vast number of reports included with GeoMaestro, as well as the ability to customize reports. Wizards help administrators and others create new reports fairly easily, and the reports can be output to PDF, Excel or XML, or can be sent directly to the printer. The high-level reporting functionality is driven by an OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) database, which allows for fairly complicated reports—useful for those who want very specific information."

"We highly recommend this system for organizations that want to go with an externally hosted solution. It would also be a top consideration for any organization considering switching to an outsourced learning model, whether you want to outsource just your LMS or you are taking steps toward outsourcing the entire learning side of the organization. We also recommend this system to organizations looking for a quick implementation that prefer a good deal of ongoing support."

"We also liked the high level of attention given to back-office interoperability, and GeoLearning has experience integrating at a fairly high level with such systems as Oracle, SAP, PeopleSoft, Ceridian, Lawson and others. A dedicated API layer works to integrate the LMS with back-office systems like these, and GeoMaestro provides several single-sign-on mechanisms, including e-authentication, used by the federal government."

"The GeoMaestro system is modular and scalable, so you can choose the pieces of the suite you need as you go, a good option for companies that might not have the budget to implement a full-blown LMS/LCMS suite.
