If there's no potential for a business based around presentations, somebody'd better get on the horn with WebEx and let them know. (Then again, they're probably still too busy counting the $3.2bn from their Cisco acquisition to notice.) PowerPoint is huge in medium/large companies, and the tools available for delivering PPT presentations remotely still suck. And aside from providing awesome presentation design functionality, Zenter would've absolutely given WebEx a run for its money on the presentation delivery side.
- immad 19y agoI think Matt was just making a point using Zenter as an example. For zenter to go the webex route they would have had to add a lot more functionality, but it was obviously possible.
- martin 19y agoOf course, but just taking PPT and porting it to the web feature for feature would be pretty silly. The reason I always thought Zenter was a shoo-in was that there were obvious great, monetizable things they could do with presentations that a desktop app could never hope to do -- and during chats with them, it was quite clear they recognized this.
