In the world of business, the old saw, "Time is money," maybe more accurate now than ever before in the history of
commerce. Corporations and companies are constantly looking
for ways to increase profits while reducing time –
production time, shipping time, construction time,
development time – anywhere a company can reduce the amount
of time it takes to perform a task, it is increasing its
profit potential. And in today's global economy, every
second counts.
In the office environment, we are continually moving toward
a "paperless" environment. More and more, we are turning to
computers, their capabilities, and the World Wide Web to
literally get the word out. Meetings and collaborations
between entities around the world can now occur in real
time by way of computers, satellites and cameras. Reports,
studies or proposals can now be completely written on a
computer (including inserting graphics and images), and
sent to a receiving party by pressing a button on our
computers that transmit an entire body of work via fax or
email, entirely eliminating the need to print, collate and
compile a physical document. Files can be sent between
workers without a single piece of paper ever being stuffed
in a file folder, placed in a manila envelope, sent by
courier, or hitting a desk surface. The money and time
technology saves us is extremely valuable, and some would
say priceless.
However, there is always room for improvement, and the
search for more powerful, more efficient, less expensive
methodologies is ongoing. Software development for computer
applications that save storage space while eliminating data
loss, reduce transmission time and increase security of
vital information is a huge industry. The power of the
visual presentation is still king in our information
society, so creating presentations for a multitude of
purposes is a fact of life in the world of commerce.
Because of the immense amount of data contained within a
presentation created using an application like PowerPoint®,
storage space requirements and transmission times can
become unmanageable.
Technology has again provided solutions for these issues.
Compression software has been developed that squeezes
millions of bits and bytes of data into a fraction of the
space previously required, freeing up valuable memory for
other programs and applications. Reduced file size also
reduces the amount of time necessary to transmit these
files, which means online network time is reduced, wait
time for uploads/downloads is condensed and production time
is increased. Smaller file are easier to manage, as well.
And all of this means time is better spent, improving a
company's bottom line. Compression software is THE
"must-have" for any person or corporate entity in the
business of creating presentations.
