SumTotal was among two companies recognized for integrated talent management, earning a silver award. It was recognized for workforce analytics and planning and earned a bronze award. Brandon Hall recognized six companies for advances in SMB learning management, awarding SumTotal a bronze.

According to a news release from Brandon Hall, a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts and Brandon Hall’s senior analysts and executive leadership evaluated the entries based upon the following criteria:

• Product: What was the product’s breakthrough innovation?
