Editorial

The e-learning industry is on a collision course with the enterprise application (EA) industry. SAP, Siebel and PeopleSoft now offer integrated learning management system (LMS) modules in their EA suites. IBM has three new Web-services-ready enterprise components: an LMS, a learning content management system (LCMS) and a virtual classroom. This product development has occurred within the last year.
