The reality for most teams

Behind every training program is a workflow that fights you

Most teams stitch training together across tools that were never built to work as one.

Fragmented tools

Content gets rebuilt across documents, slide decks, a video tool, and a separate authoring tool. Two subscriptions to ship one course.

Slow, costly production

Filming, editing, and localizing eats weeks and budget. Teams report 40 hours of work for one to two hours of training.

Content that ages badly

The moment a policy, product, or presenter changes, the video is outdated. Updating it means re-recording from scratch.

Outcomes that show up on the budget

One platform to create, localize, and maintain training. Here is what that changes.

One platform

Everything training needs, in one place

Three categories, one platform. Video capabilities work standalone or under the agent, and Learn ships courses, not just videos.

Questions

Before you ask

Can Colossyan replace Articulate 360?

For most training work, yes. Colossyan includes course authoring with modules, lessons and assessments, plus AI video generation and auto-translation in one subscription. The honest exception: heavy Storyline users building complex custom simulations with triggers and variables may keep those licenses for that work.

What happens to our SCORM and LMS tracking?

You keep it. Courses and videos export as SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 or xAPI packages, reporting completion, scores against a pass mark, and time spent back to your LMS.

How does translation compare to the Articulate workflow?

In Articulate you export text, send it to a translation vendor, re-import and QA the result. Colossyan auto-translates the video narration, on-screen text and interactive elements together across 100+ languages in one workflow.

Do we still need a separate video tool?

No. Storyline and Rise do not generate AI avatar video, so teams usually pair them with a video tool. Colossyan generates the video inside the same platform: 300+ NEO 2 avatars, script or document to video in minutes.

How does the licensing model compare?

Articulate 360 licenses every user per year. Colossyan runs a per-editor model with unlimited viewers on every plan, so the people watching training never cost extra, and you replace the separate video tool and translation vendor too. See current plans.

How do we migrate existing courses?

An onboarding specialist helps audit your content, plan the migration and set up your team. Most teams are productive within the first week, starting with the content that changes most often.
