13. What our clients think
13
“Mind Click offer great customer support options and are extremely competitive on LMS pricing. But
why we chose them is the personal service we received throughout the initial sales process and the
ongoing sense of continuity since. That doesn’t happen with suppliers very often these days. Mind
Click know what we want to achieve, take the time to understand our objectives and are always
ready and able to help us achieve them.”
Sarah Beal, Head of Resourcing and Talent, glh Hotels
“Mind Click’s shared passion and enthusiasm for technology enabled learning made choosing Mind
Click as an LMS partner an easy choice.”
James Perez, Training and Development Manager, Sky
“The pricing was competitive, which is always a key consideration of course. But crucially, it was
transparent which created a strong relationship based on trust right from the start.”
Liz Thomson, Learning and Development Manager, Berlitz

Intro - Moodle is a wonderful application, however more education focused in terms of features and roadmap whereas Totara is more enterprise/corporate and additional features including significantly better reporting.
Custom Moodle - more complicated
Additional plugins - need upgrading or replacing
Core devs will be more tricky - merging of code
Note some custom devs might be part of Totara

Much of the e-learning is common across all of glh, supporting the vision of ‘one source of truth’. However, this targeted approach supports to core organisational strategy of reinforcing brand values and focusing on the experience guests receive at each hotel. It’s already being well received by staff.
