Hey Alex, it doesn't mention in the title, but Sizle is a tool geared towards sales/marketing teams to help them make sales actions (follow ups with customers, leads, etc) based on when their presentation is opened, what slides were watched the most, etc.

I used to train at IBM, which of course meant a whole lot of PPT. Analytics of the sort described here would be helpful for discovering what slides provide the most mileage for a given presentation.

If you spend 1/2 hour on one slide, and then 2 minutes on a string of 5 consecutive slides, it says a lot about how the content impacts the presentation flow. And it would lay bare if there is any rushing towards the end of each segment.

I often present on a conference call and then distribute the deck to all attendees afterwards. It'd be useful to know who subsequently opened the presentation and what they looked at.

Investors usually ask for presentation decks to be sent.
