A car salesman’s credibility is quickly lost when he guesses what size engine is under the hood or what the gas mileage could be. Claiming a car has “good” gas mileage is not the same thing as knowing it’s 40 mpg. A 6-cylinder engine can come in a variety of flavors… in-line or V, turbocharged or naturally-aspirated, these details create some machines that are much faster than others. With cars, more is not always better, sweating the details creates vehicles that keep “car guys” debating for hours. People who care nothing for cars will make generalizations that make me cringe, but nobody wants a guessing salesman to help choose the perfect vehicle.

The best company you can have, in a strange place, is a map.
-MacGyver
I’ve seen every episode of MacGyver… most more than twice. When thinking about the best way for users to get what they want out of our eLearning Atlas, MacGyver’s advice came to mind.

Once upon a time, well, that’s not exactly how this starts. This story actually started about 7 months ago when Chris and I first started working here, at Rustici Software. We were hired to embark on a journey together to find all of the eLearning companies and highlight them in a neutral environment, so you all could find one another.

LMS’s and content creators benefit from one another. It’s a symbiotic relationship. The problem is that it’s not always (and usually isn’t) clear who will play nicely together. Our latest project is making it easier for you all to find each other and work together.
We’ve been compiling a massive list of e-learning companies to see who is likely to play well together. We quickly realized that our unique position (think Switzerland) in the industry means we can share this list with the world and create a valuable resource for everyone.
We’re not just publishing a list. We’re providing a searchable, filterable database that makes it easy to find what you want.
We’re not going to tell you which vendors you should partner with. It’s not our style. Instead, we’re giving you the most comprehensive data set of e-learning products and vendors available, and the tools to make it useful.
When we say “comprehensive data set”, we mean it. There are more of these vendors out there than any of you realize. You’re welcome to submit your guesses at eLearningAtlas.com.
We’ve hired people to help us do this. They’ll be reaching out to everyone. If you don’t want to wait, email us about your product right now.
