An impressive competitor: Elicitus software
Topic: Value

Elicitus

(from the website:)
Leverage the Elicitus Suite all the way from PowerPoint? to interactive e-learning. Elicitus SlideConverter accurately converts PowerPoint? content and allows you to add further content, multimedia, interactivity, questions and tracking. The award-winning Elicitus Content Publisher helps you rapidly create SCORM and AICC standards-compliant e-learning courses, which work with leading Learning Management Systems. Elicitus Interactivity Builder, world's first and only Rapid Interactivity Authoring tool, allows you to add sizzle to your courses. Elicitus ProgressTracker allows you manage learners, deploy courses, capture progress information and produce tracking reports.

At first glance from the Seek website, elicitus looks very impressive. The sample lessons are in Flash with a lot of dependency on rollovers and boxed highlights for interaction.
And the list of customers is nearly overwhelming.
So is the pricing.
Elicitus provides less functionality than my software for about 3 times the price -- and that is without a LMS to track student progress.

The question is: How did they sell this capable, but less-valuable system to so many large companies?
