Why would I select the hosted service over intranet or CD deployment and vice versa?
Where internet connectivity is sufficient, Atlas will always recommend the internet portal as the preferred deployment method. This allows learners’ progress and results to be recorded centrally and accessed at anytime. It also allows course updates and any required support and maintenance to be carried out remotely by Atlas. CD deployment is only recommended where internet connectivity is not sufficient to run the courses online. Content is deployed locally and results extracts need to be performed on a regular basis and sent back to Atlas for our records. CD deployment is generally used offshore but, where possible, we will suggest Local Content Deployment Solution which still holds course content locally, but feeds results back to the internet portal.
