Who will use it?

Storyline 360 has won us over. The handful of new features are capped by the vast improvements to player responsiveness.

Development professionals will adopt 360 in quick time. Corporate L&D teams and part-timers may take longer to evaluate the cost-benefit of upgrading. The new subscription model is sure to tempt.

For professional development, Storyline Training is ready to go with 360. Its new features will be optional inclusions in all Storyline Training courses. Storyline 2 is expected to be the mainstay of corporate teams for the time being, so Storyline Training continues to offer its top-shelf 2 training also.

Storyline Developer is one professional outfit making the switch to Storyline 360. Its new development work will be done on 360—with ongoing support for legacy products to accommodate client needs.
