Moodle is being used by a lot of small to mid-sized companies in the US for corporate training. According to the e-learning guild it is the #1 learning management system (LMS) for companies under 5k.

In my experience the flexibility and functionality is what most attracts businesses to Moodle. As you pointed out podcasts, videos and online presentations come standard. There are also plugins for webconferencing tools like DimDim, Eluminate and Wimba. Also because the code is available companies can tie Moodle into already existing systems.

In full disclosure I work for a Moodle Partner here in the US that provides services around the open source software.

We’re rolling out a ton, ton, of new functionality soon which will include things like grade management, discussion boards, etc…

It’s all hosted in a secure environment by us as well, so no need to install and configure anything on a server.
