Presentation Slide Manager

[Stuart]

Hi,
I am sure other companies must have / use or something like this so
hopefully someone can help...
We currently hold thousands of PowerPoint slides which are used in hundreds
of presentations. Lot's of these presentations have duplicate slides. When we
wish to change a slide we alter one slide, and then this pushes the amended
slide out to all individual presentations that the slide occurs.
We currently use a program called presentation librarian but this is no
longer supported, does anyone use anything similar?

The final thing is... Can it support PowerPoint 2007?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I haven't experience with third part options. However, if you have
PowerPoint 2007 and SharePoint (Server 2007) it has a slide library feature
where you can post and reuse individual slides. I quite like it!

Hi Glen,
I have heard lots about the Sharepoint 2007. The problem being it only seems
to be available in 64bit. Which means, taking our server to 64 software
(including exchange) which seems to be a bit hit and miss at present...

Hm, I hadn't heard that, although I admit I'm not very Sharepoint or server
savvy at all.

One thing to note -- you actually need MOSS to get slide libraries. MOSS =
Microsoft Office Sharepoint Services (I think that's what it stands for,
although it might be Server instead of Services), and I believe that runs on
top of WSS -- Windows Sharepoint Server/Services, or whatever they're
calling that now.

There used to be a few "slide and asset managment" software packages around,
but I can't seem to find any of them now. Sheesh. I know a few have
exhibited at PPTLive in the past, but I don't see a list of past vendors on
the PPTLive site either. Sorry.

We have a test server here running MOSS and the slide library. (OKKK we have
a test server here that sometimes runs MOSS and the slide library, other
times it just sits there. ) It is not a 64 bit machine. Works just fine.
As my hubby/sys admin says "Just say no to 64-bit for now."
