Life science firms have been using learning management systems based around the cloud. This new system has let these firms move passed older methods that were much less effective. New electronic signing systems allow companies to do paperwork electronically as long as they follow Title 21 CFR Part 11, “which specifies how validation is handled to make sure inputs are not manipulated and audit trails are available” (kmworld, 2016). For life science firms, it is necessary to link to multiple parts of the organization, including human resource and content management systems. Karen Bigelow-Varney, a training executive with a global contract research/ manufacturing organization, recalls how service request were done. “Before the company used the LMS, they used to have to go through personal portfolios for each employee by hand and that was nightmarish”, said Bigelow-Varney. This resulted in a multitude of human errors, and was much less efficient. I believe that Learning Management Systems could be applied to other companies as well, and help reduce human error at other companies as well. Automation is key to being successful in the digital age.

This seems relevant for your group project, but can you say more about the LMS they are using, what it does, etc. Why only life science firms? Again, more detail.
