100% Brand Compliance


 

Total brand compliance in every presentation

As part of the initial setup, all templates, design elements, and features included in the software are precisely customized to match your corporate design. This means that your users can effortlessly tap into the predefined functions and content, eliminating any concerns about maintaining brand compliance.

Additionally, transforming older presentations and documents to reflect the latest corporate design is now as easy as a few simple clicks with empower®. Our software guarantees exceptional conversion results, ensuring that design updates fulfill their intended purpose and that outdated corporate branding is eliminated.

Font and color pickers

The font and color pickers in empower® accurately reflect the specifications outlined in your design manual. As a result, users no longer select incorrect fonts or colors. The use of non-compliant color gradients from the Microsoft Office color palette is also a thing of the past.

Template & design elements

To create new content, users have access to a library with a vast collection of templates and design elements.

Design Check

The Design Check meticulously examines presentations, checking for e.g. the current slide master, title placeholders, compliance with fonts and the preservation of logo clear spaces. Correcting discrepancies through appropriate functions is effortless. This ensures that corporate design is not left to chance but becomes a standard in every presentation.

Up-to-date content guaranteed


 

Never use outdated content again

With empower®, users gain seamless access to a central library, conveniently integrated into the empower Ribbon tab in PowerPoint. Utilizing a Google-like search function, you can locate essential content in seconds, ready to be inserted and reused with a simple double-click.

Google-Like Search

Our robust search function scours every word within all slides stored in the library, including notes, metadata, and linked Excel tables and charts. If your company chooses to integrate with SharePoint or Microsoft Teams, the search will also extend to content stored in these locations, down to the slide level. A cutting-edge machine learning algorithm ensures that the most relevant search results rise to the top. The algorithm evaluates factors like popularity, frequency, search term position, and the last modification date.

Slide Updates

When opening library presentations or slides, empower® conducts an automatic check for updates on the accessed content. If an element has been modified since the last library use, users receive a prompt for an update. Moreover, if a slide in use appears across multiple presentations, a single click can apply the update to all other instances.

empower® seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Teams, allowing individuals to browse and search the Library for content.

Presentation Automation


 

Presentation creation with a single mouse click

In the business world, recurring presentations are commonplace, often consuming valuable time on repetitive tasks. Creating polished expert presentations typically demands specialized knowledge, and time investment soars when such expertise is lacking.

Automate the creation of such presentations.

Just fill in the blanks and you're done

Users can easily create recurring or complex expert presentations by using a helpful assistant. In the assistant, they select the required content and various creation options with a click of the mouse. After hitting 'Create,' the presentation is generated automatically.

Technical Information

The software consists of two main components.

1. A local add-in for the user's Office program: available for Windows online and Mac (with some limitations). The software is distributed to users in the classic way via a software distribution platform as an .msi or .exe package.

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

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.
  • What can take place locally only takes place locally: The corporate design check, slide conversion and the execution of other functions, such as the automated creation of an agenda, take place on the client. The same applies to the filling of e-mail signatures or dynamic Word documents.

empower® ensures correct and flexible licensing via integrated software activation. The activation process takes place as follows:

  • Each client (PC) automatically activates itself on the empower® activation server at defined intervals, e.g. every 30 days. To activate a license, there must be an active Internet connection.
  • A new license is activated after installation if the user is a previously unknown Windows domain user.
  • Users can work with one license on multiple devices. If a client does not reactivate itself after an interval, its license returns to the license pool and becomes available again. This means that other users can take over the license when employees leave the company.
  • If all licenses are exhausted, the next client will receive a notification that no more licenses are available when attempting to activate. In this case, please contact us so that we can increase your license quota.
  • The empower® activation server can be reached at activate.empowersuite.com via port 443. Make sure that this connection is allowed through any proxy or firewall if required.

empower® can be seamlessly connected to conventional DAM systems allowing users to access assets such as images, icons and videos directly from the empower® library. This eliminates the need to switch or log in to a separate application and search for the respective asset in the DAM system.
