Tech Rec: Take Your Presentations to the Next Level with Slide Rocket

sliderocketIt happens all the time….. We get busy and need to get something done so rather than testing out a new cool tool we end up using what we are familiar with so we can get things done quicker. Well Slide Rocket will give you many reasons why you should break away from your normal PowerPoint presentations and try something new! With the internet and new technology advancements most companies have changed the way they do business by using online CRM tools, web meetings and tracking tools but advancing how businesses make presentations seemed to have been left behind.

Slide Rocket takes presentations to the next level by allowing for easy collaboration, sharing and dynamic content. One of The Launch Pad’s favorite features is the system’s ability to make sure slides in many different presentation decks are up to date. For example: Your company wins an award and you would like to update that slide with the most recent achievement. The slide with information about the company is generally in many presentations so you would have to update every PowerPoint template you have created for your company. But, with Slide Rocket you only have to update one slide and the system will make sure all others are up to date so everyone is working with the most up to date decks.

Also, since Slide Rocket is a network based tool it also allows you to receive real time data from slides and slide analytics. Having all your presentations online allows you the comfort of knowing that a crashed computer/server doesn’t mean all your presentations are gone.  Slide Rocket does have a free version which allows you to have access to some tools and a basic library of presentations. The Pro version ($24/month per user) allows for versioning, analytics and online/mobile/offline access to documents. The Enterprise version can be expensive ($360/year per user and 100 user minimum) but it does allow for security levels on presentations and enterprise level analytics data. The Launch Pad recommends testing out the free Lite version first and if you are interested in upgrading you can utilize the free 14 day trial of the Pro version. Below are a few more benefits:
