The Challenge
For years, Bayer relied on another charting software. As costs steadily increased, the company ended up licensing the tool for over 6,000 users. Bayer sought a solution that would ensure both brand consistency and efficiency – while being accessible to all employees without adding extra costs.
The Approach
Bayer conducted an in-depth proof of concept to evaluate the empower® alternative. Users confirmed that all key charting functions were available and that existing charts could be converted seamlessly for a smooth transition. Aside from a small number of users, more than 95% chose to switch to empower® after the prior license term ended.
The Outcome
Bayer has been successfully using empower® for several years and has saved millions in licensing and administrative costs. Demand for efficient chart creation remains high across the organization, and empower® continues to enjoy widespread use and strong user satisfaction.
The Challenge
DHL Mail & Parcels needed a scalable, cost-efficient solution for creating charts in PowerPoint. Beyond the high licensing costs of their previous software, managing licenses was complex and time-consuming: each year, license requirements had to be reassessed with support from an external provider through a multi-week coordination process.
The Approach
After a thorough testing phase involving many users, DHL Mail & Parcels chose empower® as its enterprise-wide add-in for PowerPoint charts. The solution was rolled out quickly to about 24,000 users under a single company license.
The Outcome
With empower® deployed across the organization, the annual license management burden was eliminated. All 24,000 users were centrally equipped with the software, which boosted productivity, lowered licensing costs, and significantly simplified administration.
The Challenge
BROSE had been using another charting software with over 1,000 users. Although all licenses were needed, the number had to be reduced due to budget constraints. As a result, many users had to rely on PowerPoint’s limited charting functions.
The Approach
Following a detailed evaluation, BROSE deployed empower® to all 16,000 employees. With fair pricing under a company-wide license, the rollout ensured affordability while keeping future costs in check.
The Outcome
BROSE now saves substantial licensing costs each year while offering professional charting tools to every employee. This aligns with the company’s long-term strategy to maintain predictable IT spending and support the needs of a modern digital workplace.
The Challenge
Grünenthal was seeking a cost-effective alternative to its existing PowerPoint charting software - one that would also reduce the significant IT workload caused by patching after Microsoft 365 updates.
The Approach
Grünenthal conducted a comprehensive evaluation of empower®. Management adopted a forward-thinking stance: a change would be pursued unless someone could clearly prove it was the wrong decision. No such case was made, so the transition moved forward.
The Outcome
Grünenthal now uses empower® as its central charting add-in for PowerPoint. Because empower® operates independently of Office’s internal code, IT update efforts remain minimal - while licensing costs stay predictable.
