Why buy PresentiaFX presentation software and ditch Powerpoint presentations? Powerpoint presentation software is everywhere: corporates, government and education.

Several hundred million copies of Microsoft PowerPoint are churning out trillions of slides each year.

Powerpoint may help speakers outline their talks, but convenience for the speaker can be punishing to both content and audience.

The standard PowerPoint presentation elevates format over content, turning everything into a sales pitch.

Of course, presentation meetings are nothing new. Years before today's Powerpoint presentations, presentations at companies such as IBM and in the military used bullet lists, displayed on overhead projectors. But the format has become ubiquitous under PowerPoint, which was created in 1984 and later acquired by Microsoft. PowerPoint's pushy style seeks to set up a speaker's dominance over the audience. The speaker, after all, is making power points with bullets to followers.

In a business setting, a PowerPoint slide typically shows 40 words, which is about eight seconds' worth of silent reading material.

With so little information per slide, many slides are needed. Audiences consequently endure a relentless sequence, one slide after another. When information is stacked in time, it is difficult to understand context and evaluate relationships. Visual reasoning usually works more effectively when relevant information is shown side by side.

Powerpoint presentations largely succeed or fail based on the quality, relevance, and integrity of the slide content.

If your presentation numbers are boring, then you've got the wrong numbers. If your slides words or images are not to the point, making them dance in colour won't make them more relevant. Audience boredom is usually a content failure with Powerpoint slide presentations!

The PowerPoint slide style routinely disrupts, dominates, and trivializes content.

Thus PowerPoint presentations are too often very loud, very slow, and very simple.

The practical conclusions are clear. PowerPoint is a competent slide manager and projector. But rather than supplementing a presentation, it has become a substitute for it. Such presentation misuse ignores the most important rule of presenting: Respect your presentation audience.

By contrast our Powerpoint alternative, PresentiaFX, presentations are engaging, interactive and relevant to your audience.

Your prospects can drive the presentation as you access content from a 3D wall of options based on the audience’s specific areas of interest… no longer boring them with a pre-set linear presentation of dull Powerpoint slides!
