About Seismic
Seismic is a sales enablement platform built to:
Help sellers find, share, and track the marketing content they provide to customers and prospects.
Help marketers manage all marketing content in one place, as well as gain insights into the performance of the content.
The integration with Seismic Learning allows companies to automatically bring Learning content into the Seismic platform. Sales enablement leaders can share and promote lessons within Seismic, similar to other pieces of content.
With this integration, companies can house all their training and marketing enablement content in one platform. This makes it easier, and more streamlined, for sellers to locate what they're looking for.

Integration Features
1. Unified UI
The unified UI allows users to find and interact with Learning content from within Seismic. After the Seismic Learning application is installed and configured, all users in the Seismic tenant are able to see a new Learning icon on the main menu in Seismic. Once a Learning session is established, users can utilize Seismic Learning features from within Seismic.
If a user finds a link to Learning content somewhere within Seismic (for example, a Seismic Page), and selects the link, the link opens in the Seismic Unified UI instead of in a new browser tab.
Learning links can appear in the following locations in Seismic:
In a DocCenter profile (Seismic's landing page)
On a Seismic Page
On the Instructions card next to another piece of Seismic content
In global search results
2. Global Search
The global search provides the ability to search for both Seismic content and Learning lessons using Seismic search.
When reps search in Seismic, and there are lessons associated with their search, the lessons appear in the search results. The lessons appear in a separate tab of search results named Learning so the reps are clear about what results are Seismic content vs. Learning training.
3. Consolidated Insights
With consolidated insights, users can view the data about how training and content usage lead to real results.
There are three default dashboards:
Training engagement - overview of how your users are engaging with Seismic Learning training.
Training impact - insights around how Seismic Learning training activity correlates to Seismic content usage.
Training Impact Enhanced - it builds upon the Training Impact dashboard by providing insights around how Seismic Learning training activity correlates to CRM sales success metrics.
