Sociable Media and NetCentrics release the companion software for Beyond Bullet Points book
March 16, 2005 (LOS ANGELES) – Sociable Media, the firm responsible for revolutionizing how individuals and corporations use PowerPoint, and NetCentrics, a leading software application developer, announce the general commercial release of the Sociable Media PowerPoint Add-In software. This software Add-In for Microsoft® PowerPoint® is a companion software to the recently published book Beyond Bullet Points written by Sociable Media President Cliff Atkinson.
In Beyond Bullet Points, the reader can discover an innovative three step method to unlock the amazing stories in PowerPoint presentations and learn how to increase the impact of any PowerPoint presentation. Cliff Atkinson suggests in his book that presentations work best when we create and tell a story. PowerPoint has become THE language of business. Cliff’s ideas help any presenter consider what to communicate and how to present information to capture the attention of the audience and keep them interested through the presentation.
The ideas and templates in Beyond Bullet Points have been captured in the Sociable Media PowerPoint Add-In, which automates Cliff’s process of structuring a captivating story and transforming it into a memorable PowerPoint presentation. Beyond the story, the Sociable Media PowerPoint Add-In also helps standardize corporate branding through a branding tool bar, a recommended corporate template and common presentation standards. Using the Sociable Media PowerPoint Add-In across your organization, your presentations are more interesting, more informative and more consistent.
“The Sociable Media PowerPoint Add-In puts the new power of a visual story in the hands of anyone who uses PowerPoint”, said Cliff Atkinson, President of Sociable Media. “Drawing from the core ideas I describe in my book, the Add-In helps our readers and clients build presentations that unlock the drama and ideas in the presentation, and helps organizations clarify their communications.”
“We’re excited to partner with Cliff Atkinson and Sociable Media”, said Dean Hering, Vice President of NetCentrics Corporation. “We’ve had a very successful history building Add-Ins to support authors with best selling books and helping to convert those ideas to software applications that help people implement great ideas. We look forward to great success with Sociable Media.”
