SlideRocket today announced it has joined the Google Apps Marketplace™. SlideRocket’s presentation platform extends Google Docs enabling users to create stunning and engaging presentations that help sales and marketing teams win business, measure the success of their message and communicate more effectively with customers.

“The Google App Marketplace allows customers to combine their existing Google Apps information and content with SlideRocket’s presentation design and management capabilities to turn ordinary data into high-definition, visually captivating presentations,” said Chuck Dietrich, CEO, SlideRocket. “Also, companies’ critical sales and marketing presentations will always be accurate and up to date, thanks to SlideRocket’s unique ability to dynamically pull real-time data from Google Apps into slides."

Integrating SlideRocket and Google Apps makes presentation development more efficient and dynamic. You can access SlideRocket right from Google’s universal navigation. Benefits include single sign-on, contact integration and real-time feeds from Google Spreadsheets into SlideRocket presentations. In addition, users can:

• Create engaging and interactive presentations: SlideRocket's intuitive and elegant authoring tools turn everyone into a designer. Users can easily import and complement Google Presentations to create stunning slides.

• Manage a library of slides – less time looking for slides, more time closing deals: SlideRocket’s groundbreaking presentation management allows users to maintain easy-to-access libraries of assets (photos, video, music), slides and presentations. Users are also able to pull data directly from Google Apps into SlideRocket presentations, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information every time the presentation is viewed.

• Easily share, publish and secure presentations: SlideRocket makes it easy for users to collaborate on authoring and to extend the viewing audience with one-to-many communications, both online and offline. Unparalleled security features allow you to share the most sensitive data. Users can instantly access Google contacts to invite sales prospects, customers and more to view SlideRocket presentations.

• Measure presentation views and analyze its success: Users get real-time feedback on who is viewing content and which slides are of most interest, gaining an understanding of how and why their presentations are succeeding and creating opportunities for follow up.

"We are very excited to have SlideRocket in the Google Apps Marketplace," adds Scott McMullan, Google Apps Partner Lead for Google Enterprise. "Through the Google Apps Marketplace, software vendors like SlideRocket are helping us build a rich ecosystem of integrated apps that work seamlessly with Google Apps, allowing IT administrators to leverage the benefits of cloud computing and extend Google Apps to meet more of their business needs. We are happy to offer SlideRocket to the millions of Google Apps users who have embraced the cloud."

The Google Apps Marketplace makes it easy for more than two million Google Apps customers to discover, purchase and deploy integrated business applications and related professional services. By integrating with user account and application data stored in Google Apps, these cloud applications provide a simpler user experience, increase business efficiency, and reduce administrative overhead.

“I was impressed with how easy it was to integrate SlideRocket with Google Apps. Google has laid out a great integration architecture and as a result two of our developers completed the integration in just two days,” said Mitch Grasso, CTO, SlideRocket.
