Slidebank

What Slidebank is

Slidebank is a web-based service for organizations that save and manage PowerPoint slides and presentations online. Teams can search slide titles, content, speaker notes and 16 customizable metadata fields. They can also find earlier versions of individual slides and presentations. When a master slide changes, virtual presentations can update automatically, and affected users can receive email notifications.

Administrators can lock slides, require specific slides in presentations, manage access permissions and set presentation expiry dates. Slidebank provides access through Salesforce, including single sign-on and a tab in the Salesforce dashboard. An optional centrally deployed PowerPoint add-in lets users access Slidebank content from PowerPoint. The system also records activity audit trails, including what users downloaded and when.

Slidebank says it uses AWS virtual private clouds and encrypts data in transit with SSL certificates. Customers can choose US or European hosting. Subscriptions include setup help, tutorials, a training allowance and ongoing support. Slidebank is designed for organizations and teams, and accounts require at least 10 users. Its web-based solution is designed for short or small video clips up to 1 MB. Pricing is available on request, and a 14-day trial is offered.
