Over the past few months, Cordovan have been working hard to help organisations overcome a common challenge. So often, executives are 're-inventing the wheel' by creating PowerPoint presentations that have been done tens if not hundreds of times. So much organisational knowledge sits in staff computers, where it stays, only offering value to the creator.
In answer to this, Cordovan have developed 'Slide Sorter'. Very simply, it makes organisational 'slide knowledge' available to everyone and allows staff to 'pick and mix' their presentations from a central repository. It's all handled through a conventional browser. Once the user has selected their slides, they can export directly from the browser in PPT or PDF formats.
For example, a sales guy who's main involvement is in supplying his/her customers with fleet cars finds that a new client needs help with financing. Another division within his/her company is all about financing. Using 'Slide Sorter', he/she can quickly pull out key slides which talk about how the organisation can assist the client with both fleet cars and financing. This is achieved very quickly and avoids the sales person being hindered by going through hoops to find the initial knowledge they need. Therefore, the opportunity cost is reduced and offers the organisation as a whole to 'cross sell' services more easily.
So much organisational 'intellectual capital' is still held within PowerPoint presentations. Slide sorter is simply a way to free it up a bit within the firewall.
