Training Supplier explanation

Summary

Explain what a training supplier is and how it is used

Content

Hi OLC friends,

Could someone please explain to me in simple terms what a training supplier is and how they are used? I found the below information on the cloud documentation, but I still can't get my head around how it's used. Ideally I'd hope we could get external vILT vendors like Adobe Connect tied into this somehow, but that might be pie in the sky.

Creating a Training Supplier: Procedure

A training supplier is an external company that you contract with for training needs. You set up training suppliers as catalog resources so that you can associate them with instructors and classrooms. Associating training suppliers to instructors and classrooms helps you to narrow search results when looking for instructors or classrooms that are affiliated with particular training suppliers.
