How WOW! Scaled L&D Content 10x With Visme, Powering SCORM Content Within Their Broader LMS Strategy

WOW! is a US-based telecommunications company with a learning and development team responsible for training new hires and keeping existing employees current on products and processes.

A few years ago, the team was producing content, like training manuals, primarily in PowerPoint and relying on Articulate Storyline for anything more complex. Building a presentation took an hour or more, and getting a piece of content through their multi-stage review, internal sign-off, plus subject-matter-expert comments, took three to four days.

That changed when the team moved to Visme. Review time dropped to one or two days, a roughly 50% productivity gain, and the team was soon saving about 79% in time and design tool costs compared to their old stack.

Kendra, who led the team's content development before moving to another role within WOW!, described the shift away from PowerPoint early on: "Previously we were using PowerPoint, which is fine, but the interactivity you can get with Visme is so much more robust that we've all steered away from PowerPoint."

A few years later, things changed again, more significantly, when the team upgraded to the Enterprise plan.

The same team now produces content in 85% less time. In the first five months of 2026 alone, they published 93 projects, nearly four times the 25 they produced in all of 2025.

Why WOW! Upgraded to Enterprise

The team had been using Visme for a few years when the limitations of their existing plan became apparent. Most importantly, the work had evolved.

• New hires needed structured onboarding content that could live in the company's LMS.
• Managers wanted data on whether learners were actually completing courses.
• And the team needed content that could stand on its own, not content that had to be embedded inside Articulate to function.

Furthermore, some details were missing: the ability to build navigable menus within a course, easy SCORM export, and the ability to control where learners could and couldn't go within a module.

"The first thing was the need to lock down the navigation of a course and not allow learners to just 'click' to the next page. We wanted to provide menus to make it easier for learners to access the content they needed. What made the deal even sweeter is that we can now see how much time learners spend on a page, and we can now put our content in our LMS and it is SCORM compliant." 

The upgrade to Visme Enterprise unlocked everything Tammy needed for the team. Content that previously had to be routed through Articulate for SCORM compliance could now be built, exported, and uploaded to WOW!'s LMS entirely with Visme.

WOW!'s Big Wins With Visme

85% Faster Build Time on Complex Content

Before the Enterprise upgrade, the team's benchmark for a complex content build was the WOW! Mobile Launch, a project that took 622 minutes to complete. Then their introduction to the Hosted VoIP Product, the first full Enterprise-era SCORM module complete with audio, video, forms, and navigation, took even less.

That's an 85% reduction in build time for a significantly more complex piece of content.

The Hosted VoIP module now serves as the template for every future SCORM project. That means the time investment in learning how to build it once pays forward on every module that follows.

10x Monthly Output From the Same Team

In 2025, the year before the Enterprise upgrade, the team published 25 projects, about 2.1 per month. In the first five months of 2026, they published 93, averaging 21.6 per month.

With the same-sized team, they produced 10 times the monthly output.

Part of that growth came from adding video and animated content to the mix, a more complex content type that could have slowed the team down. Thanks to the advanced timeline editor, it didn't. Tammy found that controlling animations and interactions is manageable from day one, and it's become second nature with use.

"Visme’s timeline editor acts much like other video software we have used. The more you use it, the easier it gets."

Flexible Access and Compliance Enforcement

For Tammy, navigation control was never just about locking learners in. It was about letting them move efficiently. Menus give employees direct access to the content they need, without having to scroll through an entire deck to find the last relevant page.

"Visme's navigation controls in this content aren't as important as that they can't skip through, but that they can reach what is important to them without having to skim through an entire deck to reach the last page they need information from." - Tammy Stewart

Then the lockdown feature adds a second layer for modules where completion is a compliance requirement. WOW! recently implemented a policy that raised the stakes around training completion: new hires who don't finish the required onboarding modules don't graduate from the program. In some cases, non-completion can result in an employee being exited from the business.

The need became evident when a new hire completed a knowledge check but never engaged with the course content. They had clicked through every module to reach the assessment, then approached Tammy, confused about why the system showed "incomplete."

Visme's navigation controls let the team design courses on their own terms, balancing both needs:

• Menus give learners direct access to the sections relevant to them.
• Navigation lock enforces completion on modules where policy requires it.
• Progress tracking shows how long each learner spent on each page.
• Knowledge checks send response data straight to Tammy's inbox, giving her visibility into individual comprehension.

"We are able to get emails to see who is taking the knowledge checks built into the course and how they are answering the questions, which provides additional insight into how well they are understanding the content." - Tammy Stewart

Tammy did flag one constraint. Animations currently conflict with Visme's navigation lock feature. For modules where she needs both, she's working around it, still building animated content while finding other ways to meet the compliance requirement.

An Organic Expansion to a New Team

What started as a tool for the L&D team has now spread across other departments, specifically customer success.

When WOW!'s new Customer Experience Director, Christa Johnson, was evaluating design tools for her team, she was considering another popular design platform. But it was Tammy's recommendation, specifically Visme's analytics capability and the ability for both teams to work on the same platform, that shifted the decision.

Christa's team is now onboarding to Visme.

How WOW! Uses Visme

SCORM Modules in Workday

Tammy's goal is to build 90% of WOW!'s training content in Visme. For SCORM modules delivered directly through Workday, content is exported and uploaded as a SCORM file. For role-based learning campaigns that track completions and scores through Rise, Visme content is linked in the Rise course, so engagement is still tracked at the point of access.

Visme's text-to-speech AI generates voiceover so that content sounds professional without the need for a recording setup or separate audio tool. Combined with video, interactive elements, and native SCORM export, the team produces LMS-ready content faster than ever.

Knowledge Checks Without Articulate

For courses that need built-in assessments, Tammy uses Visme's forms feature to embed knowledge checkpoints directly in the content. Responses come through by email, giving her and the team a real-time view of how learners are performing and where additional support is needed.

For more complex courses that require advanced branching or question logic, the team still uses Articulate. But for most new content, Visme handles it end-to-end.

"I have found a way to use Visme forms for knowledge checkpoints within a course, which is super cool!"  - Tammy Stewart

Maverick Mentor

Maverick Mentor started as a critical thinking exercise for new hires. The goal wasn't to teach product specs; it was to get learners thinking about how a product solves a customer's actual problem and how to communicate that.

The project uses scenario-based interactions and has since been picked up by trainers for facilitator-led sessions, product positioning workshops, and self-paced review. One asset is doing multiple jobs across multiple contexts.

Evergreen Job Aids

Not everything Tammy's team builds is for onboarding. Some of it is built to stay useful over time, and this is where Tammy draws a clear line between Visme and tools like Articulate and Rise.

Articulate and Rise produce courses: content a learner visits once, completes, and rarely returns to. Visme produces resources that live permanently in the tools employees use every day.

The YouTube TV Residential Resource is the proof point. It's embedded in Gooroo, the knowledge base agents use during live customer calls. New hires learn from it during training. Experienced agents pull it up mid-call when they need it. One asset, two audiences, ongoing value, instead of a course that gets completed once and forgotten.

Content That Got Leadership's Attention

When the Hosted VoIP Product Introduction was completed, WOW!'s Product Leader shared it with the entire company because it was so good.

WOW! has also been through a significant transition: an acquisition that restructured access to systems and data across the business. Through that period, Tammy's team kept producing content without pause. That continuity was possible because of Visme's independence from enterprise IT infrastructure.

Could Visme Do the Same for Your Team?

WOW!'s L&D team produces more content, faster, to a higher technical standard than at any point in the team's history. And they did it without adding headcount.

The shift to Enterprise greatly improved what the team is capable of building and how fast. If you don’t believe us, just take Tammy’s word for it.

"Try it. Game changer."
