Ode to SaaS Training

As the summer sun starts to fade, blogs give way to iambic pentameter, and serious themes bow to whimsy... (With sincere apologies to The Bard.)

Shall I compare thee to a new release?
Thou art more fickle and more volatile
Rough launch doth shake the chances to increase
Renewals and subscriptions for a while.

Sometime too fast the features do update
And oft’ its relevance too soon doth stale
And obsolescence looms as training’s fate
Lest tips and updates users do regale;

But thy eternal function shall not fade
Nor lose possession of discrete design
Nor shall whole new courseware need be made
When business model and training do align.

So long as learning portals are available
So long can user learning be attainable.
