Bravais 1.2 provides the ability to track and report on all the content published to and from the BravaisTM cloud platform, no matter the device from which the content is being accessed.

Some people, myself included, have even been actively working towards this end trying to hasten its death through carefully worded argument and debate. The trouble is that many organisations have invested heavily in their LMS. Somehow that investment needs to be recouped.
