The newest version of CustomShow is well on its way to completion, but before the latest iteration hits prime time we’re rolling out aspects of our presentation offering in small chunks. This paced rollout will build up to one significant update, but current clients and early adopters can already enjoy our enterprise specific online presentation viewer. What does this mean for presenters and sales team? These five features break down CustomShow’s online presentation capabilities for business:

1. Aligned with your workflow. We think about presentations all day everyday, but just because we specialize in everything from design to slide management, doesn’t mean we have to do it all for every client. We work with design teams to give businesses version control and other special presentation features with our presentation software CustomShow, help corporations transition to the iPad, or work specifically on animation design. Whatever the case, our fluid business structure makes it easy for our business to pick up on your business workflow effectively.

2. Built for business. Our secure viewer is run through a secure login system. Sales teams invite viewers to online presentations via email. From there audiences can log in and view their presentation at a scheduled time or whenever it’s convenient.

3. Fit for any situation. Our online presentation viewer works as a standalone product, leave behind, or even in conjunction with CustomShow Web Meetings.

4. We take security seriously. We put managers’ minds at ease with hefty security measures that keep insider presentations confidential. One example of this is our automatically changing encrypted linking structure. Private presentation URLs change every few minutes so even if someone tries to share an unauthorized presentation it will hardly exist before it’s safe in the hands of the company.

5. Everything is trackable. Presentation administrators have access to detailed dashboards with realtime insights on presentation viewership. Data points let managers decipher who has logged in, how long they spent on each slide, and much more. This isn’t just sales team performance measurement, these are the kinds of statistics that can inform client or consumer interests and product development.

The iPad may have beat out the DVD player to become the most quickly adopted non-phone electronic product in history, but this is only the beginning. A growing list of emerging tablets from other contenders will also find their share of early adopters.

What does these mean for business though, and more specifically, what does this mean for your marketing and sales teams?

If you’re SAP, a company that’s been praised for their quick integration of more than 2,500 iPads in the field, then Apple’s iOS is just the first step in a large, fundamental change in the way we do business. In a recent interview in InformationWeek SAP’s CIO Oliver Bussmann summed up the company’s tablet philosophy succinctly:

At the end, it’s all about the innovation you can bring to the organization. And we have learned that you can get quick wins with the iPad, no question about it, but there are also other devices coming in as well that are also going to be very important.”

Among these devices are the Android Tablet and Blackberry PlayBook, two newcomers that will appeal to different users based on their size, functionality and features. We already have a CustomShow presentation app for the 15 million iPad owners to date, but when it comes to tablets we’re all in. We are excited about tablets that support Flash (basically every tablet except the iPad), because we use Flash to make presentations stand out.

Stay tuned to see how we are leveraging the strengths of each of these tablets to create seamless, high quality presentation solutions you can count on.

NBC News Networks, which includes NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, Meet the Press and MSNBC, has brought Sales Graphic in to create their cross-platform upfront presentation for 2009.
