easy
Your single source of truth for all Microsoft Office templates, documents and assets
Tired of hunting for the latest templates, images, icons and charts? Meet the empower® Library: a scalable, convenient, enterprise-class asset management solution. Manage, collaborate, and keep content up-to-date all from within MS Office. No new apps to learn. No steep learning curve. Inserting content from the library is as simple as “drag and drop”.
Your template and asset management system for Microsoft Office
Make all important content available to everyone in your company’s empower® Library. empower® integrates seamlessly with all the most-used Office productivity applications. People can build their house style-compliant documents, spreadsheets, presentations starting fresh every time, more easily than cannibalizing old, probably out-of-date documents.
Enterprise email signature management
empower® ensures that everyone uses the correct email signature, formatted correctly and consistently. When legal or contact data or brand guidelines change, all email signatures get updated automatically.
Organize and distribute thousands of templates and documents
Global organizations have to build, update, and manage thousands of templates and standard document models for multiple business entities in various locations and in different languages. empower® enables admins to easily provision and control all those variations with very little effort. And updating the entire Library when legal information changes, only takes a few seconds.
Asset libraryThe empower® Library is integrated with Microsoft Office and provides direct access to all assets including slides, presentations, documents, spreadsheets, templates, images, icons, charts, tables, clauses, SmartArt graphics, and videos. With just a few clicks, users can add content from the library directly within MS Office.
Google-like searchempower® includes a Google-like Search that covers all library content including notes, metadata, and linked Excel tables and charts. A machine learning algorithm ensures that the best search results appear up top, based on an analysis of the prominence, frequency, and position of the search term as well as each asset’s popularity.
Slide Updatesempower® notifies users when they open a library asset that has been updated since it was last used. When library content has been updated,empower® allows you to update slides in multiple presentations in a single operation. empower® ensures that all legal information in your document or email will always be up-to-date.
Rights Managementempower® connects to Active Directory, Azure AD, and OKTA. Within empower®, you can assign rights to folders for individual users or entire groups. Four roles are available at the folder level: Reader, Author, Editor, and Administrator. An additional role, Corporate Design Admin, can manage all central settings such as corporate design rules.
Offline Availabilityempower® synchronizes either the entire library or selected folders from the central database to everyone’s computer. People can quickly create and edit presentations and documents wherever they are – even when they’re on a plane or working somewhere with limited or no online connection. empower® always runs fast and smooth thanks to its cached offline functionality.
Translationsempower® allows you to manage document assets in multiple languages. With the Slide Linking feature, whenever you update a presentation in one language, all translated versions of updated slides are also marked as changed. A localization agency or colleagues can then easily identify which slides require translation updates.
