BOSTON, MA, February 26, 2018 — Thought Industries, one of the fastest-growing online learning SaaS companies, announced today that its Learning Business Platform™ (now Thought Industries Academy) placed #7 on Craig Weiss’ Top 50 Learning Systems for 2018 report.
This is the first year Weiss’ rankings include learning systems beyond learning management systems (LMSs). Thought Industries’ debut in the top 10 reflects both its platform’s success and the industry’s growing demand for focused, use-specific learning systems rather than one-size-fits-all LMSs.
“Our Learning Business Platform was solely designed for revenue-generating training companies. They don’t want a generic LMS tool. Instead, they want a solution built for selling training to a much more demanding learner, their customers,” said Barry Kelly, CEO at Thought Industries. “Debuting at #7 on Craig’s Top Learning Systems list is validation of our platform’s problem-solving abilities. We’re honored to receive this esteemed recognition.”

As CEO and lead analyst for The Craig Weiss Group, Weiss is recognized as one of the most influential people in the learning systems space. His 2018 rankings were based on UX/UI, learner and admin functionality, company financials, customer support, product roadmap, and overall innovation.
Weiss remarks, “Thought Industries is a vendor to watch in 2018 and a great example of why I opened my rankings to other types of learning systems. Their friendly, feature-rich, and user-driven learning platform has a lot going for it. The analytics and reporting are solid. Video management is robust. E-commerce includes subscription management (nice). And multi-tenancy is here as well.”
Weiss also liked the platform’s 2018 roadmap, which included a new customer learning and software training product to help organizations improve product trials, onboard customers, and increase engagement.
“Overall, it’s been a fantastic start to the year,” said Kelly. “We’ve maintained our record growth and continue to receive accolades from customers and analysts alike. This makes us all the more dedicated to pushing the evolution of the industry’s first true Learning Business Platform.”
