The Elusive Slide: A Last-Minute Search

Your gaze is fixed on the screen, frantically scrolling and clicking, trying to locate that one important slide for your presentation tomorrow. “I know it’s here somewhere,” you tell yourself, lost in the endless depths of your digital workspace.

Against the clock: The frustrating search

The clock ticks, frustration grows. It’s a treasure hunt without a map. You remember crafting the perfect graphic months ago, but now it’s vanished. Hours slip by as you’re stuck in a cycle 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.

challenge-icon Challenge

Over half of all presentations and documents rely on existing content.

But that content is scattered - how much time do you waste trying to find it each week?

Even when you do find something, it’s often outdated. How often have you realized that too late?

And when there’s nothing usable, you start from scratch. Is that really the best use of your time?

Outdated or missing content wastes hours and puts your company's credibility at risk.

How much do you value your company's reputation? Don't leave any doubt about quality..

With the empower® Library, every slide and document is current and easy to find. No searching. No risk.

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.

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.

100% control over permissions.

Only authorized users can create, move, update, or delete library content. empower® uses Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) for easy authorization management. Single sign-on (SSO) enables individual and group read/edit permissions at the folder level.

 

Presentations in several languages? No problem!

In empower®, language versions of presentations are linked. When one is updated, others are flagged for review, ensuring nothing is missed. This streamlines control, transparency, and keeps everyone up to date.

 

Transparency with every change.

The library tracks slide changes with a detailed version history. You can compare versions side-by-side with highlighted edits and restore previous versions with one click, offering control and transparency like never before.

 

Bulk updates with one click.

empower® bridges a crucial gap by linking identical slides for common updates. A single adjustment to a central element syncs across all linked slides, ensuring consistency. Word documents stay current too, thanks to efficient text module management.

Technical Information

empower is ISO 27001 certified and guarantees maximum data security:

  • Each customer receives a separate backend instance, hosted on Microsoft Azure. We connect your Entra ID to this instance so that only your users can access it.
  • We synchronize your Entra ID users (with ID, user name, group membership and any other fields for email signatures and dynamic Word documents).
  • In the software, users can access content, templates and design elements via a library. This non-critical content is intended to be shared with the outside world. For each saved element in the library, it is possible to trace who created and last edited the document.
  • Whatever can be done locally is done locally: populating Word documents with profile, location, and company data takes place on the client—provided the relevant data setup is in place.

The software consists of two main components:

1. A local client add-in for Windows, Microsoft 365 Online, and macOS (with some limitations). The software is distributed to users via  software deployment as an .msi (or .exe) package.

2. A single-tenant backend hosted in the Microsoft Azure Cloud, where templates and content stored in the library are managed.

Each empower® user must have a license. When a Windows domain user logs in for the first time, a new license will be automatically activated. To complete the activation, an active internet connection is required. The activation server is located at activate.empowersuite.com and communicates over port 443. This connection must be allowed through any proxy server and, if necessary, the firewall.

empower® seamlessly integrates with traditional DAM systems, enabling users to access assets like images, icons, and videos directly from the empower® library. This eliminates the need to switch to the DAM, log in, and search for content. Additionally, after appropriate configuration, empower® only displays DAM search results intended for use in Office documents.

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:

  • Please send us the required information, including your Word templates and company details. We will review the materials to ensure everything is complete and provide you with a setup timeline, which typically takes 4 to 6 weeks depending on the project scope.
  • If you're automating PowerPoint or Word templates, please include those templates and any specific questions you have for the assistant.
  • You can create your own folder structure in the library for PowerPoint, Word, and Excel and fill it with your content.
  • Once the setup is complete, there may be a round of revisions if needed.
  • You will then receive the installation package along with technical documentation.
  • Coordinate briefly with your IT department to prepare for the technical setup.
  • Plan and send out invitations to users for online training sessions.
  • Your IT department will distribute the software through your company’s platform. We are available to provide technical support if needed.
  • Users who receive the software should attend the online training or watch the recording and review the accompanying materials.
  • We track software usage through telemetry data.
  • To support strong user adoption, we offer targeted training sessions on specific topics as needed.
  • We stay actively involved until your expectations for the software are fully met.
Slide Updates    Implementation duration

Depending on the size of your company and the amount of content to be provided, both the software setup and IT implementation typically take 1 to 4 weeks each (excluding training). The entire implementation process usually takes 1 to 3 months.

Rights Management    Required resources

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

Asset Library    Required IT involvement​

Your IT department will need to connect your Entra ID or Okta authentication provider with the empower® library in Azure. Once that’s done, the team only needs to deploy the add-in and upload the configuration file (manifest) for the web add-in.

Your IT team will also be responsible for first-level support and for managing software updates throughout the year—though update tasks are only required if your company opts out of automatic updates. We release 3-4 software updates each calendar year, and in our experience, most customers apply 1-2 updates annually.

The total estimated IT and support workload is about 0.25 full-time equivalent (FTE) per year.

faq-iconQuestions

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

1. Where are the files in the empower® 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.

2. Can the files in the library be stored on our SharePoint & Teams instead of the Microsoft Azure Cloud?
You have the option of connecting SharePoint Online. Presentations, slides and documents stored on SharePoint then appear in the library and can be easily searched.

In this scenario, users do not have to change the way they work and can continue to use SharePoint as a file repository. To make the files searchable, empower creates an index that is stored in empower's Microsoft Azure Cloud. If you do not want this, your IT can also host the so-called “SharePoint indexer” itself so that all data remains under your control.
3. How complex is the integration of our SharePoint with empower®?

SharePoint is a solution that has been in use in most companies for many years and can have a correspondingly complex structure. It is therefore understandable that your IT department does not readily approve connections to such a central company tool and must be involved in every case. The integration of empower® is carried out in collaboration with your IT colleagues, who we inform in advance and then support professionally. As a rule, the connection is completed after a few appointments, but can vary depending on the complexity of your SharePoint and your technical requirements or internal company hurdles.

4. How does the migration of existing presentations into the Library work?

The library offers an import function that allows you to transfer folder structures that are displayed in Windows Explorer directly into the library. You also have the option of connecting to your SharePoint Online. This allows you to access and use files saved there directly in PowerPoint, Word and Excel via the library. Individual presentations can also be added to the library with just a few clicks using the empower® save functions.

5. Can not only slides and documents be saved in the library, but also media assets such as images, templates, etc.?

Yes, this is possible. You can create your own area with subfolders in the library to provide images, icons, templates and other design assets. For a larger number of design assets, we recommend the additional purchase of empower® Brand Control. This software makes your design assets available in a clearly arranged quick access bar and thus enables efficient and smooth design of documents and presentations.

6. Who can change and manage the library content?

Only people with the appropriate rights can carry out these tasks. These rights are specifically assigned in order to keep the group of people with extended authorizations manageable and to ensure order in the library. We will be happy to advise you.

7. Won't the library (like most storage locations) quickly become disorganized?

No, the rights to save, change and delete files are only granted to selected users. All other users are only granted the right to access and use files, but not to save, move or delete them in the library. This ensures that unauthorized persons cannot cause any damage.

8. Isn't maintaining the library a huge amount of work that we are bringing in-house with the software?

As a rule, our customers distribute the task of “maintaining library content” among various people within the company. This distribution can be based on company divisions, topics, locations or languages to ensure that no one person bears the entire responsibility. Thanks to empower®'s updating functions, managing and updating the files is much easier for the people responsible and takes significantly less time than before.

However, if no one in your company is available for this task, this is not a problem. With the Managed Service, we take care of all changes to the files in the library for you so that you can concentrate on more important tasks. Contact us if you are interested in the Managed Service. we take over all changes to files in the library for you so that you can concentrate on more important things. Contact us if you are interested in the Managed Service.

9. Can't the Microsoft Copilot also provide up-to-date content on request, so that we don't actually need the library at all?
Microsoft Copilot has access to all files that the user can access via Microsoft Graph. This includes both current and older or outdated files. Currently, Copilot is not able to intelligently distinguish between current and outdated information or ensure that the data is up to date. Microsoft therefore recommends that its customers improve their own data governance and ensure that all storage locations are kept in order.

In our opinion, the effort involved is hardly economically feasible. For comparison: Many PC users in companies already have difficulties keeping their desktop tidy. In comparison, the file systems in companies are far more extensive and complex.
10. Do admin licenses cost extra?

We find it inappropriate and incomprehensible to charge additional fees for software administration rights. It should go without saying that the software used can be configured without additional costs. Therefore, there are no extra fees for assigning administration rights. These rights can be assigned as often as is necessary for the efficient administration of the library.

11. How do dynamic Word templates work?

One or more Word templates—meaning the basic structure of a document with placeholders for user information, company logos, and legal details—are stored in a cloud-based backend system. On the user’s device, the template is automatically filled with data from the connected Entra ID, along with additional company details. The final document includes the company logo, address, contact information, and footer. Company data can either be entered manually in empower or imported from a primary system.
