Corporate History

In 1995, Novations Learning Technologies was formed to provide e-learning learning management solutions to Fortune 1000 companies. The LMS, called Ready Solutions LMS, was sold only as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software. In 2005, Latitude Learning was formed when Latitude Consulting Group Inc., led by CEO Jeff Walter, acquired Novations Learning Technologies.

In 2008, LatitudeLearning certified Ready Solutions LMS as LatitudeLearning.com. Latitude Learning launched its website as a cloud-based  version of the LMS.

In 2010, LatitudeLearning launched its Forever Free program  which allowed free access to the LMS for companies with fewer than 100 users and for non-profit organizations with up to 1,000 students. Over 1,000 LMS installations were deployed in the first year.

In 2017, LatitudeLearning surpassed the limit of 20,000 LMS configurations.
