How is it different from traditional presentation software

	high-end animation effects and interactivity - SHAKER® will make your presentations come alive.
	vector based technology - screen resolution is no longer an issue, and you won't get those rough contours when you animate text or images on your slides.
	a technology that was developed for the web - file sizes are relatively small and can be run on most common software/hardware systems.

	SHAKER® gives you access to your presentations anytime, from any place - no installation is required, you just need a URL and your username/password.
	SHAKER® is platform-independent - presentations can be viewed on virtually any PC system, online or offline.
	SHAKER® uses embedding techniques - you'll never have to cope with the shock of a 'missing font' error message again.
	because it's already on the web, distributing your presentations has never been easier: you can forget about e-mail attachments and CD-ROM handouts - you can easily publish your presentations on your existing website, or you can give 'guest' accesses to your partners to view the presentation directly from the SHAKER® website.

	fully user-compatible controls
	all functions are one click away with SHAKER®'s advanced dynamic user interface.
	SHAKER® presentation templates provide visual presets asking few and very simple decisions from the user.

What do we mean by template-based?

SHAKER^® is special in its way of working exclusively through presentation templates. The template is the basis of our concept to deliver Flash to end users.

Our templates divide the presentation process in two distinct parts - presentation design and presentation authoring. The complex visual elements of the presentation are created by a professional Flash designer, leaving you to concentrate on content.

What are the advantages of presentation templates?

SHAKER^® templates let users freely compose the content of their slides, but spare them the difficult considerations of graphic design. The templates provide such presets as general slide layout (background, logo placement, animated slide title object), object animations, slide transition animations, font and object styles, etc. (see details in the help).

The structure of SHAKER^® templates is open, any third-party Flash™ designer can create a customized template for you (our customers receive the full template documentation, a basic template to edit, and a template editor user access).

	Users can use professional Flash graphics, without any programming knowledge of Flash™
	SHAKER® templates facilitate the creation of structured, easy to read slides
	SHAKER®'s custom made templates ensure the consistent communication of your organization's image

SHAKER^® is the first presentation software providing a full set of tools to your organization's representative - from the first idea of a presentation, through the creative process and the review/approval of the content, to the presentation event or the mass distribution of the presentation online or offline.

	You can work together with colleagues in remote locations without needing any additional software components.
	You won't need to store the same presentation in several versions; you can directly share it with your colleagues or partners.
	You won't need to distribute your presentations via e-mail or on CD-ROM.
	Your colleagues can keep working on your presentation as fresh data comes in, even as you travel to your presentation event.

Our server runs in a secure server room, with guaranteed bandwidth, protected by an industrial class firewall. User's files are protected by the username/password access authorization procedure our system uses when you log in. The internet data communication that goes on between our server and a client PC is encrypted, providing much greater security than e.g. e-mail communication.
Presentation data is protected by auto save and file-recovery mechanisms that will save and recover unsaved information in the event of a connection failure or some other technical problem.


How can you always use the most updated version?

SHAKER^® is a constantly improving software - upgrades are delivered to users cost- and hustle-free.

You will hardly notice changes as it only takes work on our part -we simply update the SHAKER^® engine on the website and all our customers have access to the upgrade instantly.

	we always have new ideas
	we continuously monitor user feedback
	we chose a technology - Macromedia® Flash MX® - which fulfills 21st century expectations regarding software management/upgrade and deployment.

Why is it so simple to start using SHAKER^® on your present computer?

SHAKER^® will run in any software/hardware environment where a browser software with Macromedia's free Flash Player Plug-in is available. SHAKER^® requires only these widely accessible and free third-party software to run.
Macromedia's Flash Player is available at Macromedia®'s Download page for most common OS-s and browsers, including most common Windows PC, Mac or Linux configurations.
SHAKER^® was tested on Internet Explorer 5.5 and up and Netscape 7.0 and up browsers, so presentation editing is only supported for these two browsers (for both Windows and Mac versions).
