empower® for PowerPoint accelerates the creation of presentations, reports, and charts. The suite offers modern charting options, AI-powered tools, and reliable content management — delivering faster results that remain brand compliant. 

How empower® simplifies chart creation in companies 

Many companies spend countless hours building charts, reports, and presentations solely in PowerPoint. In our study, we found that employees spend an average of 72% of their weekly work hours using productivity software. On average, each employee creates eight presentations per month. 

empower® targets this challenge directly. The suite integrates advanced charting, smart linking, AI-powered automation, and centralized content management, boosting productivity across the entire Microsoft Office ecosystem. The outcome is less manual work, consistent branding, and faster deliverables in PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, and Excel. 

PowerPoint is central for reports, decision documents, market analyses, and project plans. Yet teams often lose time on manual formatting, fragile Excel links, or fragmented templates. Here are the 15 most important reasons companies adopt empower®

1. Seamless conversion of existing charts 

Companies often rely on legacy presentations, charts, or reports built over years. Rebuilding everything from scratch would take excessive time. With empower®, existing PowerPoint charts or content from other tools can be converted into empower charts with one click. The original remains intact, no data is lost, and the switch happens smoothly — without rebuilding existing reports. 

2. Intuitive interface for immediate productivity 

Many analytics, reporting, or visualization tools are complex and often only usable by experts. That leads to frustration, mistakes, and dependence on a few power users. empower® offers a clean, logical interface without hidden menus. Even users without deep PowerPoint experience find it easy to start. This reduces training needs and ensures that everyone can work productively. 

3. Full range of chart types — professionally presented 

Standard PowerPoint charts often fall short for business reporting, controlling, or consulting needs. Building advanced chart types — like waterfall charts, Mekko charts, or scatter plots — manually takes time and risks formatting errors. empower® offers all essential chart types alongside advanced ones. It also includes intelligent elements such as breaks, trend arrows, and reference lines. Companies save significant time and gain professional, scalable visuals.

4. Modern Gantt charts for project work 

Project plans are often complex, change frequently, and must be presented at different levels of detail. Many tools are inflexible, making it hard to update Gantt charts or present them professionally. empower® provides Gantt charts with phases, dependencies, collapsible sections, and optional Excel links. Project managers, PMOs, and consultants can quickly visualize plans and update them with a single click — in a clear, presentationready format. 

5. Robust linking between Excel and PowerPoint 

Excel links often break, especially in collaborative environments where files are moved or renamed. That leads to error messages, incorrect data, and lots of manual fixes. empower® stabilizes Excel links permanently — even when multiple people work on the same documents. Reports stay accurate and up to date without intervention. 

6. Automatic updates when underlying data changes 

In many companies, reporting is regular and repetitive. While Excel data gets updated, PowerPoint presentations end up outdated. Manually updating slides is time-consuming and risky. With empower®, every linked chart or table updates automatically when Excel data changes. Teams can trust their presentations remain current without extra effort. 

7. Flexible table and text linking

Often, presentations only need parts of Excel tables — for example, selected columns or specific KPIs. Standard PowerPoint imports complete tables, forcing users to manually remove unneeded data. empower® lets users link individual cells, columns, or text segments. They insert exactly what’s needed, without reformatting Excel files beforehand.

8. Professional Excel link manager

Complex reporting environments may involve hundreds of links scattered across documents. It becomes hard to tell which are active, where they are stored, or whether they still work. The built-in link manager offers a dashboard showing status, file paths, update history, and any issues needing attention. Users can quickly locate problems and perform bulk edits — a major benefit for teams managing large-scale reporting. 

9. Intelligent color controls 

When creating charts, colors often require manual adjustment — particularly for negative values, variances, or predefined Excel color schemes. That consumes time and often leads to inconsistent formatting. empower® automatically recognizes color logic — such as positive/negative values or trend indicators — and applies correct coloring without manual correction.

empower® goes beyond charting 

The suite spans PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, and Excel to provide brand-compliant templates, AI-assisted content creation, and automation across the Microsoft Office environment. 

10. AI-generated professional slides 

Many AI tools generate content, but rarely in a format suitable for business presentations — and seldom aligned with corporate branding. That forces users to spend time revising slides. Companies also often demand secure, compliant AI environments. empower® AI generates slides directly in corporate design, using custom templates, approved fonts, and company libraries. Everything runs in a secure AzureOpenAI environment. Teams save time, stay brand compliant, and work within a privacy-conscious infrastructure.

11. Automatic presentation creation 

Creating a presentation from scratch takes time — defining objectives, building an outline, gathering content, selecting templates. That often results in inconsistent output. With empower®, users fill out a structured form specifying goals, structure, agenda, and content needs. empower® then automatically builds a complete presentation — well-organized, brand compliant, and ready to present. 

12. Integrated content library 

Important assets like templates, slides, icons, images, and text modules are often scattered across network drives, SharePoint, private folders, or old emails. Employees waste time searching and sometimes rely on outdated versions. empower® centralizes all assets into an integrated library inside PowerPoint. Everything stays current, centrally managed, and easily accessible.

13. More than 50 precise layout tools 

Aligning, scaling, matching, or replacing elements manually is tedious. Users end up wasting time on tasks that add little value. With over 50 layout tools, empower® enables one-click operations for pixel-perfect alignment, scaling, or replacement of elements — producing professional-looking presentations quickly and efficiently.

14. Automatic design and consistency check 

Presentation errors are easy: extra spaces, unclear wording, inconsistent formatting, or colors outside brand guidelines. Manual corrections take time and are often overlooked. empower® includes a consistency check that scans the entire presentation for formatting and content issues — including compliance with branding standards. The result is clean, uniform documents that always look polished.

15. Automatic agenda creation 

Agendas often need updating whenever slides change. It’s easy to forget, leading to outdated or incorrect agendas before meetings. empower® includes an agenda assistant that automatically builds the agenda, section slides, and cover pages. Any change to the slide set triggers a global update — ensuring the presentation remains consistent from start to finish.
