Seismic started out as a document generation platform targeting the primary use case of automating the creation of customized and compliant content at scale. For this reason, its technology has been most relevant in environments that are highly regulated with significant compliance requirements, with limited need for sellers to easily find or personalize content. Seismic’s top use case is LiveDocs — a feature primarily designed for content marketers versus sales leadership, sales enablement, or product marketing teams that need a solution that will be easily adopted and used by sellers. Customers that have used Seismic consistently report running into frustrating limitations.
