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

• Extracts the Microsoft 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

Microsoft PowerPoint is another asset type upon which Artesia DAM can intelligently ingest and break down the asset, extracting and separately managing the presentation slides and templates while automatically maintaining relationships between these for easy navigation. within the overall presentation. In addition, Artesia 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 multiple different presentations, and to then easily select and re-assemble multiple slides into a new presentation governed by a user-specified master template.
