Conclusion
Many of us find it easy to share photos online, but as far as PowerPoint files go, the more common option is to email the PowerPoint as an attachment. However, PowerPoint files can be huge and can quickly fill up inbox and mail accounts.
The product that I am reviewing today offers a solution -- PPTshare Desktop Slide Library does more than allowing you to share your presentations, it also allows you to manage your presentations at the slide level, and create new presentations from those slides without opening PowerPoint.
BackDesktop Slide Library is from PPTshare, company based in New York, USA that also creates several other products such as File Compressor. You can learn more about the product and download the 30 day trial version of the product from their site.
In addition to PowerPoint presentations, Desktop Slide Library also manages video files. Both the presentations and the videos are placed in a library that allows further manipulation at the slide and video level.
My contact at PPTshare for this review was James Ontra - thank you, James. I asked James for this product evolved, and here's his response:
PPTshare Desktop Slide Library evolved from our clients' need to better manage and control all of their disparate PowerPoint files, and to simplify video within PowerPoint. There's a wealth of valuable content stored within hundreds of PowerPoints, and our clients needed a better way to tap that resource. Before, users, typically sales people, wasted a lot of time hunting and pecking, copying and pasting, and recreating new presentations for every meeting. The PPTshare Desktop Slide Library consolidates all of a user's PowerPoints and videos into one central location. And it automatically formats a video into a full-screen PowerPoint slide. It is the ‘go to’ place where users can quickly find single slides and videos for making new presentations.
Our clients asked for some specific functionality, and we built it, using the Slide Library as a foundation.
- Users asked to drag video files into library, so video slides are part of the library.
- Users asked to share presentations with video easily.
- Users asked that when their laptop is disconnected from the network, the presentation with video works.
- Managers asked to ‘push’ up to date slides into the users' library.
- Managers asked to do it without IT getting involved.
With the user requests in mind, we created PPTshare
Thank you, James.
