My company has recently purchased Articulate 360. We launched several elearning solutions from our LMS, but have found that we'd like to be able to launch non-compliance courses from our Intranet or from Sharepoint (another location, other than the LMS, for items/resources that we don't need tracked.
Outside of your company's LMS, where are you hosting training solutions?
A few years ago, one of my clients did use SharePoint for reviewing courses and to host a few that didn't need to be in the LMS. But do a quick Forum search on "SharePoint," and you'll see hundreds of results discussing problems with trying to play a course that way.
The best way to deliver a published-for-web course is via a web server. You might have to go through your company's IT dept. to have a course uploaded to the intranet. But, once that's done, users would just need the URL (e.g., company.com/course/story.html) to launch the course.
Keep in mind that the web doesn't track course progress or results the way an LMS can. So if a user leaves a course before finishing it, they'll have to restart it when they return.
