2.5 The IT Department perspective Finally, the success of eLearning defined by the IT-Department is focused more on the smooth operations and a slim maintenance and support process: No server, network and software issues, Few support cases, Easy updates and maintenance 2.6 Summary To summarize, what we mean by successful eLearning depends very much on the perspective of the beholder (Image 1). However, among those five groups, the learner should be the main reference for all decisions related to the design of new learning programs. If the learners consider a learning program as failure, then all other success factors are discredited.

In the presentation this model will be illustrated with a broad variety of examples from various industries. The goal of this approach is to take into account the different stakeholder roles as well as the different aspect regarding learning formats, competencies and technology when designing a sustainable eLearning process.
4 Summary
Finally, the main success factors for each stakeholder role are being summarized in Image 3 to Image 6. These factors are based on many projects with companies, universities and schools. To follow them, helps to create more successful eLearning programs. The two main factors are clear goals (What do we want to achieve with eLearning?) and communication across hierarchical levels and between different departments (Who is doing what? How can we achieve the goals together?).
