The quest begins: Searching for the lost slide

Do you know that feeling? Your eyes are fixed on the screen, searching for that one slide for tomorrow’s presentation. “It must be here somewhere,” you mutter, lost in the digital labyrinth.

Against the clock: The frustrating search

The clock ticks, frustration mounts. It’s like a treasure hunt without a map. You recall creating the perfect graphic and data months ago. Now, when needed most, it’s vanished. Hours pass, and you’re trapped in an endless loop of hope and disappointment.

The midnight revelation

Finally, the slide appears. It’s almost midnight. Exhaustion hits, your eyes burn, and the anticipated relief is replaced by a hollow victory.

Chaos unmanaged: the slide dilemma

We create crucial slides and presentations, but without an organized system, chaos reigns. We’re left hunting down slides, questioning their relevance and accuracy.

Productivity unleashed: The empower® Slide Library

Inspired by these challenges, we developed the empower® Slide Library. Streamline access to slides and boost productivity, escaping the digital maze once and for all.

A Slide Library Built for Growth and Efficiency

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.

implementation-icon  Implementation


Welcome to the empower® experience:
seamless implementation and onboarding

Our dedicated onboarding team is here to guide you through the entire process. Below, we’ve outlined the key steps and milestones to ensure a successful user adoption:

  • The software will be set up and linked to your Entra ID (previously known as Azure AD), granting your users access rights to the empower® Library.
  • Additionally, we’ll install the client together with you, ensuring that key users have empower® installed for their initial customization.
  • With empower®, you can effortlessly import entire folder structures containing hundreds of presentations in one go.
  • Our team will support you to establish an optimal library structure and configure access rights accordingly.
  • Before the official rollout, we’ll provide you with ready-to-use communication and training materials, including webinars.
  • Once the rollout is underway, we’ll closely monitor user adoption and work with you to ensure a successful implementation.
Slide Updates    Implementation duration​

Typically, the setup of a slide library takes one week. Initially, your IT team needs to link your Entra ID (or Okta) with the empower Library to enable Single Sign On (SSO). After that, you can begin importing your slides and presentations and launch the software once the initial framework is established.

Rights Management    Required resources

Once you have established a framework for the library and prepared the slides and presentations, you can promptly upload the data and initiate the rollout.

Asset Library    Required IT involvement​

Your IT department needs to link your Entra ID or Okta authentication provider with the empower Slide Library in Azure. Following this, your IT department only needs to distribute the add-in and upload the manifest for the web add-in.

Why empower®?

Organizing slides lacks system and leads to chaos. The advanced management features of empower® create the necessary enterprise system and ensure up-to-date, well-organized presentation content. Seamless access, intuitive search, and effortless assembly lead to professional presentations in less time and ensure high user adoption.

faq-iconQuestions


We've created this website to provide you with all the information you need about empower without having to contact our sales team. The following list represents the top 10 most frequently asked questions.

Where are the files in the empower® slide library stored?

By default, the data is stored in a Microsoft Azure Cloud environment that we set up specifically for you. This ensures compliance with data protection regulations for data stored outside your IT infrastructure.

Can the files in the library be stored on our SharePoint & Teams instead of the Microsoft Azure Cloud?

Yes, you have the option to connect to SharePoint Online & Teams. Presentations stored on SharePoint & Teams will appear in the slide library, allowing easy searchability. Users can continue using SharePoint & Teams as their file repository without changing their workflow. empower creates an index of these files, which resides in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. Alternatively, your IT team can host the so called “SharePoint Indexer” themselves to keep all data under their control.

How complex is the integration of our SharePoint & Teams with empower®?

Integrating SharePoint & Teams with empower® involves collaboration with your IT colleagues. We inform them beforehand and provide professional support throughout the process. Typically, the integration is completed after a few sessions, but the timeline may vary based on the complexity of your SharePoint & Teams setup as well as technical requirements.

Can the library store not only slides but also media assets like images and templates?

Absolutely! You can create custom sections and subfolders within the library to store images, icons, slide templates, and more. For a large number of design assets, we recommend empower® Brand Control, which provides a convenient quick-access toolbar for enhancing all presentations.

Who can modify and manage the slides?

Only individuals with appropriate permissions can do so. We allocate these rights sparingly to maintain order in the library while ensuring a manageable circle of users with extended privileges. We’re here to advise you on this.

Won’t the library become disorganized like most storage locations?

No, we carefully assign rights for saving, modifying, and deleting files. Other users can access and use files but cannot save, move, or delete them within the library. This prevents unauthorized actions and maintains order.

Is maintaining the library a significant effort when using the software?

Typically, our customers distribute the task of maintaining library content across various individuals within the organization. Division by departments, topics, locations, or languages ensures effective management.

Can't Microsoft Copilot also provide up-to-date content on request so that I don't need a slide library at all?

Microsoft Copilot has access to all files that the user is authorized to access via Microsoft Graph. It therefore accesses all files, i.e. both current and older or obsolete files. As things stand today, it is not able to distinguish intelligently between current and outdated information and ensure that information it is up to date. Microsoft advises its customers to tackle their own data governance, i.e. to ensure that all storage locations are organized. In our view, the effort involved is not economically feasible. In comparison: Most corporate PC users already struggle to keep their desktop tidy, and there are still few files on it compared to corporate file systems.

How does the migration of existing presentations into the Slide Library work?

The Slide Library offers an import function that allows you to import folder structures visible in Windows Explorer. Additionally, you can connect to your SharePoint Online, enabling direct access to files stored there via the Slide Library in PowerPoint. Individual presentations can also be added to the library with just a few clicks using the save functions of empower.

Do admin licenses cost extra?

Charging additional fees for the administration rights of software is unappealing and makes no sense. It goes without saying that the software used can be configured free of charge and therefore no additional costs are incurred. Administration rights can be granted as often as necessary for the efficient management of the library.
