Microsoft PowerPoint files are among the most commonly used digital media in business today.  With the Artesia DAM Microsoft PowerPoint Adapter, importing, storing, and managing PowerPoint assets is a simple process.  The adaptor automatically:

• Extracts the PowerPoint properties as metadata from the presentation
• Extracts each slide and stores it as a separate asset
• Extracts the slide text and indexes it for full text searching
• Links the individual slides to the entire original presentation
• Generates a thumbnail of each presentation and each slide

PowerPoint is another one of the many asset types Artesia DAM can intelligently ingest and break down, extracting and separately managing the presentation slides and templates while automatically maintaining relationships within the overall presentation for easy navigation.  In addition, Artesia DAM indexes each slide's full text to allow users to perform powerful searches on their presentations.  In this fashion, the system enables a user to search for specific PowerPoint slides across different presentations, and to then easily select and re-assemble multiple slides into a new presentation governed by a user-specified master template.
