Approved by the biggest players in industry and services, Serious Factory supports companies, universities, schools, and organizations in their training strategies. The company’s interactive pedagogical applications are now a reference in the world of digital training.

To go beyond the traditional e-learning field, and thus offer a truly engaging experience to learners, Serious Factory has developed the Virtual Training Suite software solution. “VTS” is a complete suite composed of three pieces of software:
- To express limitless creativity in the service of workers, VTS Editor, the authoring software, makes it possible to design these rich interactive devices.
- To support careers and motivate teams, VTS Perform facilitates the deployment of experiences and collects quantitative and qualitative statistics.
- To meet new information access needs, VTS Player guarantees optimal delivery of the mobile and nomadic learning experience.
The vision and raison d’être of Serious Factory is that training should be a right common to all, not simply the business of an elite. It must be accessible to all, for greater equality of opportunity.
