Does anyone know of resources that compares LMS's their functionalities and cost. We are in the process of looking at the best LMS we can use to deliver Leadership Programs in a blended approach. Costs, functionalities, and ease of integration to existing HR systems are major considerations.
Looking for research based papers that may be able to give me these insights or for someone to share their knowledge of LMS platforms, features and price ranges for each.
Also, if you've implemented an LMS, what do you think are the common pitfalls that someone new to this should be aware of?

Hi Aileen! This has been a popular topic in the forums. Besides these great resources, if you type LMS in the forum search box you will find several conversations on the topic. For starters, here is one that has been going on for some time called Which LMS do you use and why
Although I haven't tried either, you might want to check out Craig Weiss' stuff as well: http://www.elearning247.co/consumer-services.html He offers good insights and a reasonable consulting package.In his blog, he does provide pricing information on some: http://elearninfo247.com/
I have also found this site:http://lms.findthebest.com/, which looks like it could be a handy comparison tool. I'm not sure it displays cost for all vendors, but not sure.
Best of luck
