"UpSlide Makes Corporate-Style Decks Fast with Smart Linking and Slide Libraries"

5/5

What do you like best about UpSlide?

1. The Office layout solutions. UpSlide makes it extremely easy to convert tables and charts into full corporate design with a single click, automatically applying the correct colours, fonts, and styles. This saves so much time when creating client or management presentations.

2. The linking solutions. This includes text links, which allow PowerPoint and Word documents to update automatically from an Excel source. In addition, our department updates thousands of league tables in PowerPoint every month. These are connected to the league-table Excel file in a very smart way, because UpSlide’s linking remains intact regardless of the file name or the file location. This makes sharing files seamless and ensures all links stay functional.

3. The PowerPoint library solutions. Here you can pick and choose single slides or standard decks available for all or for a predefined group of licence holders; private library sections for sensitive data are also possible. My clear favourite is the easy access to our tombstone database, which was set up with support from the UpSlide team. Everyone in the bank with an UpSlide licence can quickly browse, filter, and select tombstones across all products, countries, and sectors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UpSlide?

This is hard to answer, as there are no real pain points. However, I would appreciate it if links from Excel to another Excel file (not only from Excel to PowerPoint or Word) were also possible. This would be extremely helpful, as such links – when created without any UpSlide functionality – are still sensitive to file location and file name changes.

What problems is UpSlide solving and how is that benefiting you?

UpSlide has helped solve several long-standing issues in my professional life at the bank.

In former times, when I worked in Marketing & Communications, we for example had a long-running internal project to build an automated tombstone database to showcase our investment banking deals in a consistent format with logos and key details. Because of the bank’s long history of mergers, our tombstone requirements were extremely complex across different products, which is why that internal project never really succeeded. For many years, we continued to create our tombstones manually in PowerPoint.

Many years later, after I moved into the business side, I had the opportunity to work closely with the UpSlide team — and they finally made this tombstone database a reality. Multiple users from different teams and locations can now input tombstone data, and the UpSlide team managed to transform all that data into standardised tombstone formats that meet all our complex requirements. Now everyone with an UpSlide licence has access to the full tombstone library across all products, countries, and sectors. You can search by year, client name, product features, and more. No need to ask around for updated tombstones before client or management presentations — everything is already there, centralised and consistent. After decades of manual production, this was (and still is) a huge relief. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
