Enterprise software training libraries

Custom software training libraries, produced in days, not months.

A boutique production studio for enterprise L&D, IT, and change teams. We produce software training videos for vendor SaaS, internal web apps, and legacy systems no one else will touch — delivered as a complete training library, in days.

01  The problem

Training production is still a twelve-week project, and most of what ships gets ignored.

"We rolled out the new system in Q1. We're still waiting on the training content that was supposed to ship with it."

The workflow hasn't changed in twenty years. Agencies gather requirements, hire on-camera talent, book studio time, record, edit, iterate through rounds of SME review, and finally hand you a deliverable, by which time the software it documents has already shipped two releases. You pay premium rates for a production timeline that belongs to broadcast television.

The alternatives are worse. Self-service tools produce content that looks self-serviced. Internal teams can't get the cycles. Your employees end up learning from a Confluence page and a Loom someone recorded at their desk.

Try recording one yourself. Pick a workflow you know cold. Fire up the screen recorder. By the third take you've fluffed a click, said "um" twice, and watched the cursor wander somewhere it shouldn't. Recording one clean training video is harder than it looks. Recording forty in a consistent voice and style is what most enterprise rollouts need. It's why most rollouts ship without the training that was supposed to ship with them.

  1. 01Eight to twelve week timelines.Discovery, scripting, recording, editing, review, revision, delivery: sequential, slow.
  2. 02Pricing built for a labor-intensive model.Finished-hour rates assume weeks of studio and editing time per hour of output. The math hasn't been updated since the workflow was set.
  3. 03Fragile production.Narrator changes, brand refreshes, and UI updates trigger a full re-record. Revisions are a re-scope.
  4. 04Stale on arrival.The system changes during production. The training describes a version no one uses anymore.
  5. 05One-size-fits-none platforms.Vendor training exists for the vendor's happy path. It ignores the twelve custom fields your team actually uses.
  6. 06Designed to be completed, then forgotten.Most training is measured by completion rate. Whether anyone actually learned is a different conversation. Employees click through and retain almost none of it, especially when the training feels disconnected from the actual work.

02  How we work

All the phases enterprise procurement expects. None of the wait.

Six phases from first call to delivered library. You review; we produce. Production happens at engagement pace, free of studio calendars and narrator schedules.

Illustration: a continuous line connecting six phase icons — magnifying glass, signed document, key in lock, video edit, checklist tick, wrapped package handoff.
Phase 01
Discovery
We sit with the system owner and the L&D lead. Map the personas, the tasks, the edge cases. Output: a content outline and a deliverable matrix.
Seismic + you
Phase 02
SOW & paperwork
Your procurement team gets the documentation they expect. We work with your standard MSA, SOW, DPA, and security review process. Drafts available on request.
You · legal & security
Phase 03
Access
We set up against your real system, configured the way your team actually uses it. However your security posture works, we've been through it before.
You provision
Phase 04
Production
We produce the library. This is the phase most vendors spend ten weeks on. For us it's usually days.
Seismic
Phase 05
UAT
You review drafts in a shared workspace. Comment on a frame, a line, a pace. Revisions turn around in hours.
Seismic + you
Phase 06
Delivery
Finished MP4s, caption sidecars, and SCORM 1.2 + SCORM 2004 packages — uploaded and tested in your LMS during UAT, then transferred to you outright at handover.
Seismic hands off
03  What you get

Training videos, captions, SCORM — produced as one library.

MP4 videos with synchronized captions, transcripts, and SCORM packages — produced together as one library, with a consistent voice and visual system across every module.

Core deliverable

A coherent library, MP4 + captions + SCORM

Task-based narrated video tutorials with synchronized captions and SCORM packages — produced as one library, with a single visual system and a consistent voice across every module.

Illustration: a tray with six compartments holding a film reel, a fan of slides, a rolled scroll, a USB stick, a SCORM tag, and an embeddable browser window.
Walkthroughs

Narrated walkthroughs of your actual system

Walkthroughs of the same software your users will open on Monday morning. Your tenant, your custom fields, the workflows your team actually runs.

LMS

SCORM packages

SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 (4th Edition) packages, verified in your specific LMS during UAT. Per-language packages with completion thresholds configurable per engagement.

Illustration: a labeled package being lowered into one of a row of identical mailbox-like LMS slots.
Multilingual

Libraries in every language your workforce needs

Twenty-nine languages, with per-language voice and pronunciation handling for terms that lose meaning in translation. Brand and product names preserved verbatim across every translation.

Illustration: a central speech bubble with seven smaller bubbles radiating outward, each containing marks suggesting a different writing system, one in ochre.
Accessibility

Captions, transcripts, and accessibility

Synchronized captions in WebVTT and SRT, plus searchable plain-text transcripts. They satisfy WCAG 2.2 SC 1.2.2 and SC 1.2.3, and stay in sync with the audio across re-cuts.

Illustration: a video on a stand with an ochre CC badge, sound waves emanating from it and morphing into caption text bars below.

For technical buyers and procurement teams: the full spec. Every format, every standard, every deliverable.

04  What we train on

Any platform your users need to learn.

Training production is the whole of what we do. Vendor platforms, internal web apps, legacy systems no one else will touch. If your users need training on it, we produce the library.

05  Why Seismic

A managed service, built for software that keeps changing under you.

i.
Illustration: an hourglass with sand taking a diagonal shortcut past the narrow waist, marked with an ochre arrow.

Ship the library when the software ships.

A library you can hand out the day the system goes live, instead of a quarter later. Revisions land in hours, billed under the same engagement.

Any platform, including the one nobody else will touch.

We're built for systems with no public documentation, no vendor materials, and no one still around who built them.

iii.
Illustration: a tall stack of video module cards with a small figure on a stepladder swapping in a fresh ochre card.

The library moves with the software.

Most vendors hand off a library and walk away. Six months later it's stale. We update yours on a monthly cadence as the underlying system changes: Salesforce release, Workday update, whatever your internal team shipped last sprint. Updates roll under the retainer.

iv.
Illustration: a hand with a fountain pen mid-stroke, having signed a row of cards with the same identical mark, one in ochre.

Every module sounds like the same studio made it.

Because the same studio did. One voice, one pace, one visual system across the whole library, whether you ship 10 modules or 100. Nothing reads as the seam between two production runs.

Hand us the scope. We hand you the library.

You hand us the scope and your brand. We hand back a finished library: packaged, validated, ready to drop into your LMS. Production work is ours; you handle review and approval.

06  Sample output

Real training videos land here as clients clear them.

We'd rather show you one real module than three stock reels. Full libraries shared under NDA during discovery; representative clips go up here as clients give us the green light.

Illustration: a row of five video player thumbnails on a shelf, each showing a different abstract software interface — a form, a chart, a calendar, a dashboard, a document.

10  FAQ

Questions procurement will ask.

Written for the security, legal, and vendor-management teams who review every new relationship. Short answers here; long answers in discovery.

Illustration: a stack of unopened envelopes held together by a rubber band, the top envelope sealed with a small ochre wax seal.

Most enterprise procurement teams have a standard set of concerns the first time a new vendor approaches. These are ours, answered directly. Anything not covered is usually a question we've answered before. Ask during the discovery call.

Whatever your security posture requires. A read-only vendor account with SSO, a sandboxed tenant, or a VM inside your environment that we connect to via your preferred remote-access method. Production runs against the interface; data stays in your environment throughout.
Yes. The studio is remote-first and engages with clients worldwide. Discovery, scripting, capture, review, and delivery all run async, with scheduled video calls held in your local hours. Procurement paperwork — MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, security questionnaires — is handled by email. We travel only when a kickoff or capture session calls for it.
Yes. We've been through enterprise procurement enough times to have an efficient answer to most clauses you'll send us, including standard DPAs, subprocessor lists, incident-response timelines, and the security questionnaires your team is required to run.
We work from synthetic data wherever possible: substitution-based redaction lets us produce training that walks through real workflows without exposing real records. When training must use live data (a workflow that only triggers on specific customer types, for instance), we work inside your environment, on access you control, with captures scrubbed before they leave. For HIPAA-, SOC2-, or PCI-scoped work, we sign the appropriate BAA or addendum and operate inside your controls. Full data-handling spec →
You do, in full, at delivery. Videos, captions, and SCORM packages — the finished library is transferred to you outright, license-free and royalty-free, with no per-seat or per-view fees. Our samples library contains only work clients have explicitly approved for us to reference.
You have two options. Request updates as one-off SOWs; we'll turn a re-cut within days of a UI change. Or move the library onto an Ongoing Partnership retainer, which covers continuous updates as a line item rather than a series of change orders. Most libraries of any scale move to the retainer within the first year.
Yes, and without rescoping. Brand refresh, acquisition, change of tone, localization into another language: these are the cases our production method is specifically designed for. Re-cuts are a production task, handled within the same engagement.
Fixed fee against the SOW, tiered by module count for standard libraries and by monthly scope for retainers. Not per-finished-hour. Engagements typically range from mid-five-figure (focused libraries) to low-six-figure (multi-language, multi-persona, or regulated content); retainer pricing scales with library size and update cadence. Exact figures follow discovery.
WCAG 2.2 Level AA across the deliverable by default. Captions in WebVTT and SRT plus plain-text transcripts on every video; AA contrast and full keyboard operability in the player UI. Audio description on a separate track scoped on request. Anything beyond this gets scoped on the discovery call. Full accessibility spec →
