It’s no secret that strong learning requires great content. Without it, even the best intentions and our best efforts fall short.

But trying to find, purchase, and deliver exceptional learning resources—whether CPE or non-CPE—to your team without a centralized, integrated library can feel like trying to do your taxes by hand. Spending hours searching for the right content; uploading it (if it’s compatible) and distributing it to professionals; having to manage budget and purchase decisions every time you look for new content—it’s not only time-consuming, but also draining for everyone involved. The result is that it’s often not worth the effort unless it’s a required initiative.

At LCvista, we’ve long known that there’s a better way – there must be. And today, we’re excited to introduce you to it. Content Marketplace is our all-new, one-stop solution that’s tailor-made to simplify training administration across your business, for admins, professionals, and firm leaders alike.

Extending our reach as a trusted hub in the accounting industry

We’ve always strived to serve as a trusted hub in the accounting industry for all things learning and compliance. With Content Marketplace, we’re bringing that vision to life across accounting firms.

• For firm admins, Content Marketplace is a one-stop solution for L&D and compliance. They can find, purchase, and distribute the very best content, all without leaving LCvista.
• For professionals, Content Marketplace offers quality training to skill-up and improve performance. Rather than wasting precious billable hours navigating an all-purpose LMS, they can quickly and easily access the content they need to learn, grow their careers, and upskill or reskill easily.
• For firm leaders, Content Marketplace offers an invaluable level of visibility into learning ROI. It delivers only content that’s needed to the people who need it, allowing leaders to put the right controls in place, rein in redundant spending, and maximize productivity.

How Content Marketplace simplifies training

Content Marketplace does away with the most tedious parts of sourcing, distributing, accessing and managing content. Within one platform, users can:

Search content easily

Admins no longer have to sift through and vet multiple vendors to find the right learning resources. Within one platform, they can discover and access diverse content across multiple providers, both CPE and non-CPE.
We also prioritized easy search within the platform. Admins can filter by compliance qualifications, topics, and more. In the coming weeks we will introduce reviews and ratings so admins can easily find and purchase content that other firms love in every learning category, from business skills to leadership and management to MS Office skills.

The result: Easier-than ever access to the right training materials, without the guesswork or drudgery of having to contend with multiple vendor offerings, at the right time.

Get purchased content to professionals in a flash

Content Marketplace eliminates the delay in getting the right content to the right people. It’s easy to assign content to individual users or user groups, who can then access it right away.

Admins can also add purchased content to existing learning plans without having to reinvent the wheel each time they make a purchase.

This benefits both admins and professionals. Admins can distribute content easily, and professionals can find the content they need to complete their requirements. No sifting through emails, login credentials, or having to navigate a new system.

Make purchasing and budget management decisions

Anyone who’s purchased content for their accounting firm knows the pain of having to negotiate with new vendors. With Content Marketplace, users can buy directly through LCvista—no negotiation needed.

The platform also allows users to manage budgets, approvals, billing, and payments in one place. LCvista simply adds your purchased trainings to your existing invoice, for one centralized learning management experience. Build a tailored, cost-effective package for your firm with unlimited catalog subscriptions and bulk credit packages.

Leading CPE and non-CPE vendors at your fingertips

Vetting and purchasing from content vendors takes considerable time, and the work’s not done once you do – your firm must then dedicate resources to integrating, implementing and consistently updating that content. Because of this, firms often end up with less variety in the types of content they can offer and less efficacy in their learning and compliance efforts overall.

With Content Marketplace, LCvista does this work for you across a wide array of providers, giving you the ability to pick and choose content from multiple vendors according to your firm’s unique needs and budget. Explore dynamic training across a variety of CPE and non-CPE providers on topics from business and technology skills to ethics and compliance to accounting and auditing updates, with new vendors and courses being added all the time.
