Evolution and classification of digital corporate platforms in the context of technological transformation

Digital platforms have fundamentally transformed market structures, gradually permeating all sectors of the economy, including education and corporate management. Among the many digital solutions, digital corporate learning platforms have been selected as the relevant area of research. The article presents the results of a theoretical and methodological study of digital corporate learning platforms as a key instrument in the digital transformation of human capital management. The aim of the study is to systematize approaches to defining the essence of digital corporate learning platforms, to identify the stages of their evolution, to develop a classification of existing solutions and to determine levels of functional maturity. The methodological framework is based on systemic, typological and evolutionary-historical approaches, complemented by an interdisciplinary analysis integrating elements of knowledge management, educational technologies, HR analytics and strategic management. The study includes an analysis of Russian and international research, as well as practical cases from leading corporate platforms. It has been established that the development of digital learning systems has passed through three major stages: from LMS, performing administrative training functions, to LXP, focused on personalization and engagement, and finally to modern hybrid corporate ecosystems integrated into strategic competence management processes. Key maturity criteria for digital corporate learning platforms are defined as functional completeness, depth of integration into corporate processes, level of analytical sophistication, user coverage and the strategic role in human capital management. To quantify maturity, a set of metrics is proposed, including the share of individualized learning paths, user engagement levels, the economic effect of learning (ROI Learning) and the degree of integration of analytical tools. A classification of digital corporate learning platforms is developed based on six criteria: purpose orientation, learning objectives, target audience, applied technologies, architectural solution and source of development. The findings allow digital corporate learning platforms to be viewed as strategic infrastructure for human capital development, ensuring personalized learning, productivity growth and the formation of digital corporate culture. The scientific novelty of the research lies in refining the conceptual framework and proposing a maturity typology of digital corporate learning platforms, forming a basis for future empirical studies, effectiveness evaluation methods and strategies for corporate learning ecosystem development.
