Amazon's cloud is looking at building a corporate training service - Jordan Novet, CNBC
Amazon already has online training programs for partners to train their employees on how to use AWS offerings. This would be a broader general-purpose service that companies could use to manage all kinds of corporate training and elearning programs. Amazon explored the learning-management field and concluded that none of the available tools were just right for its own workers, and executives decided the company would build its own system, one person familiar with the matter told CNBC. The idea was to build something "commercializable," the person said. It's not clear when the service could become available publicly.
