The preservation of knowledge has been one of the human concerns throughout our history, for this we have gone from the oral tradition through writing on papyrus rolls, parchments, the invention of printing to the present with the help of support technology that gives us greater options for preserving memory.
Similarly, this happens in the business world, companies also need to preserve knowledge; it is the training area that has the mission of maintaining the accumulated knowledge and incorporating the necessary changes to achieve a better organization and a more efficient company.
For starters, training and coaching play an important role in developing a productive workforce and fine-tuning processes to increase profits; training also helps people and organizations to manage change, because organizations are continually changing whether they are techniques, goals, teams, people and locations; therefore, all members of the workforce require training to support these changes.
What do organizations hope to achieve by investing their efforts in training?

Why is training necessary?
There are many reasons: organizations need to meet their goals, and achieve a strategic approach to the services they offer; improve or change your performance; make employees gain new knowledge and learn new skills; to change performance, employees need to learn new things.
Considering these needs, investment in training has become relevant for every company. The budget assigned to training in the modern company is quite high, to give just one example, in the USA the annual figures exceed 70 billion dollars.
In the current situation, it is necessary for any organization that is interested in improving its profitability, to have a system to store and distribute knowledge. Modern digital media help us with this function. This way you will have all the material that the company needs for the training of its employees. Learning systems for organizations provide this opportunity. The LMS (Learning Management Systems) allow managing, distributing, evaluating and monitoring the different activities that have been stipulated as part of a company training and education program.
Some of the benefits we get with these platforms:
