Atlantic Link beats all challengers in the Brandon Hall 'PowerPoint to E-learning' Shootout 2007

Seven teams prepared an online presentation from a
standard script and concurrently presented the results of their work, allowing audience members to see what they had done and vote for the most impressive effort.

Managing Director Mike Alcock, who ran the Atlantic Link software during the challenge, commented "This is a hugely significant win for us. We have gone 'head to head' with all of our major competitors in a live shootout situation and the audience voted for our software.

We created the entire course live on a hosted web server, and converted the PowerPoint slides, in less than 10 minutes. This showcased our unique remote authoring capabilities, collaborative development environment and our speed of production.

Our product and innovation superiority have been recognised by a very knowledgeable audience from the learning industry. The fact that PowerPoint conversion is just one part of our rapid authoring toolkit, and we were competing with specialist PowerPoint products, shows how far in advance of the field our technology is. We now have the accolade of 'PowerPoint to E-learning' shootout winner to go with our previous win as 'best software simulation product'."
