Challenge

Solo.io’s field engineering team needed a reliable solution for engaging in-person, hybrid, and virtual workshops and presentations. The current platform was cumbersome to set up, unreliable, and required extensive resources to maintain. The team searched for a new platform their field engineers and users could depend on without worrying about technical glitches and unexpected outages. 

Solution

The team turned to Instruqt for its technical reliability and ease of use. Instruqt’s browser-based access means that the field team and users only need a solid internet connection, removing any burdensome friction in navigating user permissions, software installation, or security issues. Instruqt’s intuitive interface helped the team streamline its content creation process to build repeatable and scalable content more easily.

Jim vividly depicts Instruqt's unmatched reliability with a real-life example. At a global technology conference, Solo.io had 250 attendees in the room and another 150 attendees participating virtually. Instruqt helped Solo.io deliver a top-notch workshop by effortlessly handling the load without any infrastructure instability. Attendees actively participated, quickly tackled challenges, and were fully immersed in the experience.

Results

The Solo.io field engineering team can now offer a stress-free learning environment for both in-person and virtual attendees by leveraging Instruqt’s reliable technology and user-friendly interface. The team plans to continue engaging workshop attendees with hands-on learning experiences at events nationwide.
