Pricing for software-as-a-service should be simple and straightforward. All you need as a starting point is to identify your business needs and which parts of the EHS software might be valuable to your organization. Once you know what you need out of the software, you must identify what safety training programs are needed and what amount of training is needed. There are three options for online courses: Pay-as-You-Go: This is perfect for companies that need a few courses here and there. You can pick and choose what you need from the entire library and pay for only what you use. Pre-Paid Codes: This is valuable when you need to purchase 50–100 seats or more. Simply reach out to our team with the specific details, and we can touch base with the content owner(s) for volume pricing discounts. All Access: This is by far the best value. You pay a set amount per person, per month and have unlimited access to a full package of online safety training programs. See examples below. Six sample pricing models are mapped out . Standard Full Featured LMS Pricing uses the Pay-as-You-Go model for course pricing. The Custom System Pricing allows you to pick and choose the various parts of the software that you are interested in using and calculates tailored pricing for your company instantly. The other 4 options offer all the system features and functionality, plus a comprehensive library of online safety training programs. For a package that includes courses only, or for a specific combination of courses and features, reach out to one of our team members for more details.

User Testimonials
	BIStrainer	Pluralsight Skills
Likelihood to Recommend	BIS Training Solutions No answers on this topic	Pluralsight Awesome tool for teams looking to gain new skills or refine and update existing skills. I love the convenience of using this tool for recertification credits (i.e. PMP). Instead of identifying which classes I need to take, I can identify my interests and have recommendations presented for what paths I should take. It is a really helpful tool to create ladders for my team to transition from one role into the next. I think this is going to be a really beneficial tool. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Pros	BIS Training Solutions No answers on this topic	Pluralsight Pluralsight has hundreds of authors that are constantly producing new content, which is valuable for the tech industry that is constantly moving at a brisk pace. Many content authors are respected leaders in the topic they're presenting. You are able to trust that their content is thorough and authentic. Niche expert-level topics are presented in a curated video format which is difficult to find anywhere else. Incentivized Sam Rueby (MCSA) Senior ASP.NET Web Application Engineer Read full review
Cons	BIS Training Solutions No answers on this topic	Pluralsight Companies don't change technologies in their products often. For example a product that was built on AngularJS is still viable and the company may have no plans to upgrade it. Pluralsight could do a better job of providing new courses on technology that's still useful, though somewhat dated; like AngularJS for example. Pluralsight has a bad habit of throwing all their courses in a large bucket. For example, when I log-in and look to see what new I often have to wade through courses on tools that a web artist or designer would use. I wish Pluralsight would categorize course and let us (their customers) flag what types of videos we wanted to see, or better yet exclude from our view. Years ago, Pluralsight would let its customer download the courseware and that was great. I was disappointed when they stopped this feature. I'd love to see more course where the goal is to build a particular type of software. For example, lets have one where you build a blog using ASP.NET and deploy it to Azure. Let have one where you build a survey application, etc. Learning technologies is great, but I'd love to see courses where the goal is to build a particular type of application.

Alternatives Considered	BIS Training Solutions No answers on this topic	Pluralsight Before using Pluralsight, staff was using YouTube to help them with developing certain aspects of their knowledge. However, YouTube is much less structured/organized than Pluralsight. Pluralsight has a very wide offering of courses and it has lot of good content. One quick search and we can get started.

Return on Investment	BIS Training Solutions No answers on this topic	Pluralsight One positive impact is it has kept our employees engaged in the material they work with every day. Instead of becoming stagnant and complacent, they are actively searching out ways to develop skills and do more with the tools available to them. It saves money when it comes to offering training and development opportunities company-wide. It would be much more costly to invest in specialized training for that number of employees. One potential negative is the amount of company time spent on coursework over work responsibilities. A balance must be struck and individuals should be encouraged to explore the training on their own time. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
