PowerPressed sign Software House International (SHI) as a UK reseller

Henley-on-Thames, UK
8th May 2006

PowerPressed© (www.powerpressed.com) is delighted to announce today that the UK subsidiary of Software House International© ( see www.shi.com ), have reached an agreement under which SHI UK has become a reseller of the industry-leading PowerPressed© for PowerPoint® product.

SHI is a global procurement outsourcing company and leading business-to-business solution provider with 2005 revenues in excess of $2bn. SHI can fulfill orders for over 100,000 hardware and software products, offers a full menu of services and carries authorizations as an IBM Business Partner, a Lotus Notes Premium VAR, a Microsoft Certified Partner and a Novell Gold Reseller, among others.

Peter Boswell, CEO of PowerPressed© said “We are delighted that SHI have chosen to join with PowerPressed© in developing this fast-growing market. We understand the marketplace positioning and capability that SHI delivers and we looking forward to a long term relationship between our two organisations. PowerPressed© for PowerPoint® is a unique but simple solution to the problem of large PowerPoint® files. Many users now add high quality graphics, images and photographs to their PowerPoint® presentations. This makes the presentation even more effective but, at the same time, they are anything from 20Mb to 100Mb+ in size – when there are often email attachment limits of under 5Mb. This causes a problem in sharing, managing and storing these presentations which PowerPressed© solves by reducing the native PowerPoint® file size by up to 95%."
