Explainer Videos for IT & Software

Your solution, understood in 90 seconds.

You know your IT and software solution inside out — but do your customers and staff understand it too? As a creative interface, we package your application into one concise video: from feature launch to cybersecurity. Since 2012, from Huawei to the Federal Office for Cybersecurity.

These tech brands and IT departments explain with us:

What IT and software companies need to explain.

Software is invisible until someone explains it. Four explaining jobs tech teams bring to us again and again:

Software & portals.

The portal is built, the logins are out — and hardly anyone uses it? A video shows in 90 seconds what is in there: that is how Mobimo explains its tenant portal and mobilezone its self-care portal — turning a login into a service people actually use.

Cybersecurity.

Everyone should know what to do when it happens — and nobody reads the directive? So the Federal Office for Cybersecurity (BACS) explains reporting obligations and emergency planning by video, and Trend Micro makes cyber security tangible.

AI & automation.

Your technology is new — and that is exactly why it needs explaining. PIDAS explains LENA, automation with artificial intelligence — building trust in technology many people still need to place.

Milestones & brand.

Sometimes it is not the product that needs explaining but the road to it: Huawei celebrates 15 years of Huawei Switzerland in an explainer video.

Explainer video examples for IT & software.

Frequently asked questions about explainer videos for IT and software.

For three moments: selling, onboarding, safeguarding. Selling: the video shows in 90 seconds which problem your solution solves — before anyone books a demo; that is how PIDAS explains its LENA AI automation. Onboarding: it guides users into the application — Mobimo explains its tenant portal this way, so the service gets used and support gets a breather. Safeguarding: it conveys critical knowledge — the Federal Office for Cybersecurity explains reporting obligations and emergency planning, Trend Micro cyber security.

Add brand moments such as 15 years of Huawei Switzerland. Customers or staff: we support you with an effective video strategy; which video comes first, we settle in the free consultation. From global corporation to federal office to software SME: every size has explaining needs.

It depends on the altitude. The animated explainer video answers the why — which problem your software solves, for whom, with what benefit — ideal for website, sales, launch. The screencast answers the how: we record your real IT environment and walk through the process or interface step by step; the multi-page PDF manual goes, learning outcomes rise. Many combine both: animation as the entry point, screencasts for depth, expandable feature by feature.

Because the interface changes faster than the message, the why-video outlives releases and the how-videos stay cheap to update. Rule of thumb: why your product exists, we animate — where to click, we screencast. We tell you honestly what fits — more on our screencast page.

Yes — by now a focus of its own. For the Federal Office for Cybersecurity (BACS) we explained the reporting obligation for cyber attacks and the emergency concept, for Trend Micro cyber security. The hurdle: security topics are abstract, sound threatening and concern everyone — including people who think "phishing" is a typo. A good security video takes the fear out, puts the action in: it shows what to do instead of warning in jargon.

Critical topics need strong arguments — our explaining craft plus your expertise creates the acceptance awareness campaigns often lack. On request: German, French, Italian plus subtitles for the intranet. For recurring awareness waves, a series pays off: the same characters lead from the reporting path to the emergency concept — recognition that builds security culture.

With formats that match the material — interactive where needed. Your employees are the link between company and customers; interactive training videos strengthen that competence. A short explainer video first says why the tool is coming and what it delivers — defusing resistance before it forms.

Screencasts then show the workflows in the real interface. Where learning outcomes should be measurable: quizzes and e-learnings with integration into your learning management system. The rollout becomes self-propelled: any time, at each person's pace, the same at every site.

We schedule around the go-live: the videos are approved before it, not after the first support tickets. That takes pressure off IT and helpdesk when it gets hot. More on our e-learning videos page.

Not if it is designed right. We separate the stable from the moving: the core video tells problem, solution and benefit — messages that outlive releases — and shows the interface stylised rather than pixel-perfect; a new menu does not devalue it. Version-dependent details go into cheaply updatable screencasts. If something fundamental changes, we adjust individual scenes instead of re-producing — the source files stay on file with us, characters and icons serve updates and follow-up videos.

That is how we work ourselves — agile, iterative, in sprints; your video backlog grows with your product backlog. Concretely: you report the change, we assess the scope, you get a clear quote up front. No video has to go stale just because your product is alive.

Software pays no tech premium: the fixed-price packages by style for 90 seconds apply here too — concept, script, storyboard, design, animation and voiceover included; the quoted amount is the invoiced amount. Screencasts and e-learnings are quoted to match their scope.
