Presentations are a highly visible and widely used part of the corporate collateral system. Consistent and correct use of corporate presentations and presentation templates reflects the SAS brand as much as any other part of the collateral system. An extensive library of presentations categorized by industry, technology and solution is available. A collection of graphics created especially for SAS PowerPoint presentations also fosters brand consistency and quality.
You can reference the Marketing & Customer Engagement Tips and Tools For Dynamic Presentations for tips and tricks for working with PowerPoint.
