Productivity and Compliance
PowerPoint in the financial industry
As with all companies in the financial industry,
S&P creates a massive amount of content using
PowerPoint. No matter whether it is internal or
external documents, PowerPoint is the means
for presenting this content. S&P wanted to
reduce the time spent on creating
presentations as well as ensuring compliance
and review paths for all changes. In particular,
typical tasks like creating and updating tables
of contents, applying table and chart styles to
Excel-based data and using a slide library were
required to make the company-wide creation
and management of content more efficient.
30% time saved with empower® slides
S&P conducted a global research to find the
best PowerPoint solution available. After
extensive research and due diligence, they
decided to implement empower® slides. Since
then, the productivity of the users has gone up
by 30% on average, freeing up a significant
amount of time that now can be used for more
important tasks like the analysis and
conclusions.
From our perspective, we have always
thought of Made in Office and the work
they do as the “gold standard” of how
products should be developed. Made in
Office is innovative, reliable, experts in
Office plug-ins, and incredibly hard working.

Brand Communication
Corporate Design Relaunch in 2014
Continental AG is one of the world’s largest
suppliers in the automotive industry. When
Continental modernized its brand in 2014, their
big challenge was migrating millions of existing
presentations from the old to the new design.
In addition, after investing so much money in
rebranding, they asked themselves how they
could empower® slides their employees to
always create consistent presentations
according to their brand.
Brand consistency increased threefold with
empower® slides
Continental introduced empower® slides
company-wide to all 80,000 users globally. Not
only could they quickly migrate old slides to
the new design with the cutting edge
corporate design check, but they also ensured
that all users have direct access to the new
template, the valid corporate design colors and
fonts and all corporate images and icons. This
enabled the entire organization to live and
breathe their brand in every presentation.
With empower® we have significantly
improved the consistency of our brand
communication without significant
investments in our IT infrastructure.
