Here are some of the project categories we have experience with and we would like to share the experience:

* Spresent customization and integration with enterprise file storage

=== original note ===
In response to the increasing demand, we are upgrading our system capabilities, which mean better performance, availability and increased reliability.

In making this transition, Spresent web storage will be off-line and unavailable on Saturday, August 11th, 2007 from 7:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. CST.

This means, No login into Spresent application (can’t edit or create new presentations). We made a backup - Public presentations published on the web sites should work fine.
