Presenting Solutions, the leading Web-centric supplier of portable projectors and presentation equipment, has partnered with Freedom Technology Media Group (FTMG) to co-brand its popular PowerPointers.com on FTMG's new destinationCRM.com Web site.

FTMG is the first media company to enter into a co-branding partnership with PowerPointers.com. Financial details of the partnership were not disclosed.

Presentation Solutions is currently in negotiations that will bring entertaining and informative presentation information to a wide variety of businesses on the Web.

Accompanying PowerPointers.com, an online repository of articles and tips for professional presentations and communications, is the destinationCRM.com's PowerPointers store. Created by Presenting Solutions, the storefront provides projectors, video conferencing systems, digital cameras, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and Palm computers.

"Our mission at destinationCRM.com is to empower decision-makers with the insight to transform their business into a truly customer-centric organization," said Matt Purdue, editor of destinationCRM.com. "This partnership unites our industry-leading business intelligence with PowerPointers.com's unique solutions that enable our visitors to become more effective communicators."

FTMG, based in New York City, is the leader in providing business intelligence to today's decision-makers, from the enterprise to the home office. FTMG publishes CRM Magazine, Knowledge Management, Field Force Automation, Small Business Computing, Home Office Computing and two special supplements: eCRM and Small Business Solutions Provider.

FTMG also produces live events and custom publishing. FTMG is a wholly owned subsidiary of Freedom Communications.

"Partnership Reflects Synergy," Presenting Solutions Says

"This partnership reflects the synergy between our two companies," said Art Feierman, president and CEO of Presenting Solutions. "The content provided by PowerPointers.com is valuable to human resources and customer relations managers, salespersons, and training personnel -- a strategic fit with destinationCRM.com.

Visitors to the destinationCRM.com site will stay, browse, and use the hundreds of articles on every aspect of making presentations, closing negotiations, and providing successful training sessions."

New to the PowerPointers.com site is its catalog of audio MP3 versions of professionally written articles from such noted experts such as Jim Cathcart and Anne Miller. Feierman anticipates a minimum of 300 to 400 articles out of the site's more than 1,000 pieces, to be available for MP3 download by the end of the year.

MP3 Presentation Tutorials To Be Popular in Corporate America

"The MP3 versions of our articles are destined to be a hit with corporate America," Feierman said. "Think of this as an almost unlimited library of reference material on effective communications that can be accessed for free by logging onto destinationCRM.com.

"Our destinationCRM.com Power Pointers storefront will complement the alliance in that it provides visitors a means to put what they have learned into action browsing and buying the latest in high-tech presentation equipment," Feierman added.

He said the partnership with the destinationCRM.com would act as a springboard for the PowerPointers.com Web site to co-brand with other business publications.
