How we got here

Backstory

Hi, I'm Jason Suriano. Founder and CEO at TIQ Software.

When I started the company almost 20 years ago, we were a Digital Learning Studio that was proudly "technology agnostic" - if you needed a website, app, or marketing microsite, we built it for you from scratch.

We built some amazing learning programs but we couldn't specialize in one thing and do it well. We were reinventing the wheel with every new project.

My team and I worked with a lot of Learning Management Systems (LMS), that were big, bloated, and expensive (they still are). Not only that, an LMS delivers a terrible user experience - poor point and click videos, and boring activities that everyone hates or ignores.

In 2015 we used a Content Management System (CMS) to build our own internal learning platform from scratch called Trajectory IQ.

Trajectory IQ was a set of tools that helped my team create online learning courses quickly. They were beautifully designed, had activities that met learning and development standards, and a robust points and badging system that tracked user progress and performance.

Here I am talking about Trajectory IQ...

TIQ Software

We used Trajectory IQ to create over 300 custom courses for startups, mid-size, and Fortune 500 companies - from employee onboarding to compliance training (and everything in between).

We changed our company name to TIQ Software in order to work towards a shift from a custom learning design studio to a product company.

While Trajectory IQ worked well for my team, it wasn't easy for our customers to make changes or build their own learning programs. It was complicated and had a lot of moving parts.

Here's some quick highlights of our work...
