LMS solutions can be deployed both in the cloud and on-premises, catering to organizations of various sizes, including small and medium-sized enterprises as well as large enterprises. Providers of these solutions may offer instructor-led and text-based content, and some organizations may choose to outsource certain aspects of their e-learning initiatives.
