Your files, images, and documents are stored in a DAM, PIM, MAM or cloud storage system. But when you need to build a PowerPoint presentation, getting those files out and into your slides can feel like a chore.
The Old Way: A Lot of Extra Steps
Normally, making a presentation means doing this:
- Open your storage system and search for the files you need
- Look through the results and pick the right ones
- Download the files to your computer
- Save them somewhere you can find them again
- Open PowerPoint and start building your slides
And once you're done? You often have to go back and upload your finished work again, or match it up with the right files in your system. That's a lot of back-and-forth for something that should be simple.
The Fix: CI HUB Connector Professional for PowerPoint
CI HUB Connector Professional removes all that extra work. It connects your storage systems straight into PowerPoint, so you never have to leave the app to find what you need.
From one simple panel, you can connect to several places at once, such as:
- Dropbox
- Google Drive
- Box
- OneDrive
- Other DAM, PIM, MAM or cloud storage systems
This means you can grab any file and drop it straight into your slide, without downloading anything first. You can just focus on making a great presentation.
