The FlexTraining learning management system was first introduced in 1998, and is marketed and developed by National Training Systems Inc., based in Tampa Florida. FlexTraining is currently in use at several hundred corporate, non-profit, and government organizations, with an estimated user base of over a million online learners. The purpose of the FlexTraining product is to bring to the small and mid-market customers a richer feature set than had been available elsewhere, and to provide all required tools for online training in one package. Secure access, top-down authorization, and a built-in address book functions support internal and external communication capabilities. An array of point-and-click setup screens allow administrators to select features that are tailored to meet the needs of online learners, without programming. In 2004, FlexTraining introduced its Login & Go service, which provides a complete learning environment without requiring a customer to purchase software. This delivery model, often called a "SaaS" (software as a service) program, is provided at various fee levels, depending on the number of online learners to be trained.
