Further features will also be added through regular consultations with clients. Users can provide significant input in shaping the future direction of the platform's development roadmap. The innovation roadmap is client-led, with quarterly user-group meetings and weekly/monthly calls allowing users to share new requirements and ideas. This client-led approach has resulted in a system consistently ahead of the competition. Additionally, features like the Open eLMS 'Netflix-style' LXP interface, integrated cloud authoring, native app, smart classroom technology, form builder, and more have been developed based on user feedback. The roadmap of development is likely to change as the company is very much client-led, ensuring that users have a substantial influence on the platform's evolution.
