In a world where more and more presentations are
made using presentation software it has been *estimated that 30
million PowerPoint® presentations are created every day meaning
that the level of storage and the associated network bandwidth dedicated
to PowerPoint® grows ever larger for businesses across the world.
The average PowerPoint® file is also getting much bigger -
compounding the problem. 5 years ago a typical PowerPoint® was
around 200K - 800K, today presentations are regularly far in excess
of 100MB.
We have all been there...
You have completed a PowerPoint ® presentation. Now you want
to email it. It's too big to go through your mail network. Or even
worse, it appears to go but is bounced back an hour or two later
as 'too large'. Someone wants to send a PowerPoint ® to you
and the same happens. You want to save a new presentation but are
aware that your disc storage is increasingly restricted or that
you have hit your mailbox size limit.. Whether it's networking bandwidth,
the associated networking issues, email size restrictions or storage
costs, it's a simple fact that systems and networks can't cope.
And it will only get worse.
PowerPoint® remains a superb tool - but how do you
effectively communicate and manage it as file sizes grow and you
can't email or save it easily?
