i-qBox Smart Feature of the Day

If you evaluate a learning management system, make sure to take all costs into account. One critical question to ask is ”What happens in case of upgrading to a newer version of your LMS?”

• Do customer specific features need to be “re-programmed” after the update?
• Does your corporate identity need to be “re-implemented”?

Users of the i-qBox have no need to worry: All updates are included in our standard service contracts. There are no hidden costs for reprogramming or redesign! All data collected before the update, specific configurations and change requests programmed for you remain as they were before the upgrade.
