Joyce Holmes, Global Manager for Learning and Development for Toshiba Global Commerce (TGCS), started the process of selecting a Learning Management System (LMS) and curating new elearning content she faced a steep challenge. Toshiba had just purchased the new division and was experiencing a typical, but massive obstacle of such a large acquisition: providing learning content that met the needs of a workforce spread across 40 different countries. In building out their L&D program, Holmes faced the typical difficulties in selecting, organizing, and implementing digital training materials, but with the added complexity of curating and managing content in different languages. In addition, she wanted to select an LMS that would make it easy to navigate between courses and manage any updates from one place. According to Holmes, the new division had different technologies in place for performance, specific learning courses, and HR compliant courses. Holmes was determined to streamline operations by working with just one company––rather than engaging with a multitude of LMS vendors and content providers. "I was the only HR learning and development person in the Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions (TGCS) division," she says. "When I joined the company the learning state, put bluntly, was nonexistent."
