A training management system (TMS), training management software, or training resource management system (TRMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, and reporting of instructor-led-training programs.[1] A TMS focuses on back-office processes and is considered a tool for corporate training administrators.[2] A TMS can be a module in enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.[3] Such a system can form part of the educational technology ecosystem.
Purpose
[edit]The training management process includes managing and maintaining training records of any organization. A TMS manages back-office processes for corporate instructor-led-training administration and typically handles session registration, course administration, tracking, effective monitoring and reporting.[4][5][6] Some TMSs also manage financial aspects, including budget forecasting and cost-tracking.[7][8]
TMSs are often used by regulated industries for compliance training.[9]
TMSs can be complemented by other learning technologies, such as a learning management system for e-learning management and course delivery.[10][11][12]
Technical aspects
[edit]Most TMSs are web-based [citation needed]. TMSs were originally designed to be locally hosted on-premise, where the organization purchases a license to a version of the software, and installs it on their own servers and network. Many TMSs are also offered as SaaS (software as a service), with hosting provided by the vendors.[13]
