Configurative Presentations

Balancing flexibility with consistency

There's a difficult choice facing anyone who's made the commitment to presenting professionally. You need the flexibility to make changes to your presentations, and that suggests PowerPoint.  But that brings its own problems.  Give the average sales force a design-crafted PowerPoint presentation and within two months they've inserted grainy customer logos, edited the bullet points into paragraphs, changed all the fonts and imported that wonderfully relevant Billy Connolly sound clip.

So what's the usual alternative?  You ask someone like us to create a fixed, uneditable presentation.  It looks stunning, it's safe from tampering, and within a couple of weeks it's out of date.

Not an easy choice is it?

Configurative is the third choice

We developed Configurative initially to give our clients the controlled configurability they wanted.  In its simplest form it allows you to take the presentation we've developed for you and quickly and easily tailor it to your needs for each new presentation you make.  Need to incorporate a customer logo?  A couple of clicks drops it into each screen, correctly scaled and proportioned, and looking as if it belongs there.  Want to change the text?  Just use the built-in content manager to make your changes, reassured that the correct fonts will be used automatically, and that the amount of on-screen text will be limited to your original specification.

Of course, you don't want to hand over this editing power to your customers or, potentially, your competition. 

Copy custom presentations with a couple of clicks

No problem, you just use the one-click copy system to build an exact copy of your custom presentation on CD, DVD or memory stick.  Checking or unchecking one box sets whether the copied presentation will be editable.

So that's where Configurative started.  The boxes on the right will give you a few clues to where it is now.
