I work as a software engineer for Motorola in Libertyville, Illinois USA. Last year, we had a need from our user community to create Power Point slides from dynamic data stored in an SQL Server database, within an ASP.NET framework. We conducted an extensive search among our preferred vendors, other software vendors, Microsoft, and our internal development teams in the US, India, and China. Our internal teams could only supply solutions using Com components and Power Point macros, which Microsoft doesn’t endorse or support. The only software vendor having a commercial solution was Aspose. We purchased the unlimited license, and now have a solution in user acceptance testing. Our user community is happy with the product so far, and the key product developer Alex has been extremely helpful in helping us develop our application. I came from the J2EE and Oracle environment, so I was getting up to speed on SQL Server, ASP.NET, C#, and VB. But now that I have a good foundation for both environments, I am happy with the excellent performance of Aspose Power Point, and the company reminds me of the successful Jboss J2EE offerings at www.jboss.org. Perhaps if Aspose is entering the Java marketplace, maybe a partnership with Jboss might be mutually beneficial, as Jboss already has partnerships with Mysql, etc.
I work as a programmer analyst for Inetsoft Technology Corporation in Piscataway, NJ USA. One of our clients has a PowerPoint export requirement in his reporting needs and after researching on the web for a suitable 3rd party java PowerPoint component, I discovered that most of the 3rd party solutions only provides the ability to export the existing PowerPoint presentation to other formats and does not provide the ability to modify and save the presentation back as .ppt format.
As the customer requires the ability to create PowerPoint slides from the generated report which pulls in dynamic data stored in a relational database server and due to time constraints, I needed something that I can plug and code immediately. The Aspose PowerPoint component is a godsend when I finally stumbled onto it. The only software vendor having a commercial solution that I can use was Aspose. I am happy with the excellent performance of Aspose Power Point and the ease of integrating it into our reporting tool to provide a one-off customized application for this particular client.
I work for a financial company based in Boston. We originally used .NET Interop to create PowerPoint presentations and had a fairly substantial code base to support the functionality that we required. Although we wee able to meet the product features requested by our clients the performance was terrible when using the PowerPoint Object Model (PPOM). This was even after we had off-loaded the presentation generation to the client's local workstation.
We had originally evaluated Aspose.Slides (then known as Aspose.PowerPoint) but it didn't provide the same level of access as PPOM. 10 months later we were re-evaluating various options to speed up performance when one of our new developers stumbled upson Aspose again (and boy are we happy he did).
We found that Aspose.Slides provided us with significant performane improvements. It was lighting fast! We stopped all new development and within just one week migrated 10 months worth of code over from PPOM to Aspose.Slides.
Presentations that were taking us over 45 minutes to generate using PPOM now take < 2 minutes. Aspose was our savior and allowed us to stay in business! Way to go guys!
