Over 3 million people already trust empower® to create professional Office documents.

PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Outlook – Are you missing untapped potential?


Employees spend an average of more than 27 hours each week working in Office applications. Yet instead of driving clarity and results, this time often leads to inefficiencies and inconsistent output.

The Office Study conducted by Kantar on behalf of empower® identifies where companies leave valuable potential on the table. It also shows how organizations can significantly increase productivity, operational efficiency, and brand impact by using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace more strategically.

The best alternative to the Microsoft SharePoint slide library

SharePoint is often used for slide management in companies. However, with SharePoint 2013, Microsoft abolished the slide library component because of poor customer adoption. SharePoint’s slide library integrated clumsily with the slide library in PowerPoint, its search was insufficient search, and it was unstable. The slide library of empower® solves all those problems. It completely replaces your SharePoint slide library and offers further advantages for you.

Efficient slide library without SharePoint

Make all your PowerPoint content available to the entire company in the empower® slide library. Share existing content and strengthen collaboration across the organization. Enhance your brand communication by embedding your design guidelines directly into PowerPoint. Deliver all your brand assets directly in PowerPoint. At the same time, you and your colleagues can work more productively and save time for the really important tasks.

empower® for Microsoft Teams

empower® also directly integrates with Microsoft Teams. People can browse the empower® Library or chat with the empower® Bot to find and open slides directly inside MS Teams.
