Background. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the development of remote employment and the pandemic increases the potential of distance learning, where a special role is given to the development of learning platforms. The purpose of the study is to summarize the most effective tools of technology learning platforms for solving specific business problems.
Materials and methods. The empirical basis of the study was the reports of the international consulting companies EFMD, ELearning Inside, Technavio. In this regard, the author provides an analysis of the best practices for using technology training platforms.
Results. Analytics of best practices allowed us to identify several reliable platforms that demonstrate a variety of functions and tasks. The practical significance of the research results obtained is that it will allow companies to find the "very" technology among the hundreds of options that exist on the educational technology market to provide effective business training.
Conclusions. The versatility of training platforms (versatility and comprehensiveness) has its weaknesses. It can be very easy for users to get confused about functions, and developers have to constantly change the architecture of the product in pursuit of the client's desires, in order to avoid the trap of universality, you need to create not a platform, but a space for working with different tools for interaction between different platforms.
