Enterprises are at the forefront of some of the largest XR programs. The benefits of XR training are proven and companies are eager to implement the technology into their organizations. You did it! You launched a successful pilot program, and are ready to transition to a large-scale deployment… Now, what? Despite having a successful pilot, scaling can introduce a host of new challenges – ones that can be overwhelming without the right partners on your side.
In a conversation with ManageXR, Peter Wittig, Director of Customer Experience at Motive.io, explains how to address these challenges and offers advice for enterprises adopting VR. Here are our takeaways.
Identify key stakeholders early
After proving the initial success of your pilot and a strategic decision has been made to scale your deployment, departments like IT get involved and introduce new requirements like security reviews. Some of these requirements can be an unexpected challenge within enterprise time and budget constraints. Key stakeholders, like IT, should be involved as early as possible to prepare for any challenges down the road. Starting these conversations early can be the difference between getting your deployment off the ground or losing momentum.
Connect with companies like Motive.io and ManageXR, who have years of experience deploying XR at scale, to grow a program to where you want it to be.

Choose content wisely
When evaluating content providers, it is crucial to think about the long-term workflow for your VR program. You should consider how niche your use case is, how often you want to be able to make changes to the content, and what the cost implications are. There are several options available, each with its own advantages.
- Off-the-Shelf Content: Content that is ready for immediate use and comes as-is. This option is cost-effective but may not fully tailored to your specific industry’s needs.
- Custom Content: While this provides a perfect fit for your unique requirements, it can be expensive and lacks flexibility for updates or curriculum changes.
- Authoring Tools: These offer an ideal blend of affordability and customization, allowing for a more versatile approach to content creation.
