While PowerPoint presentations are a staple of modern business, when you travel, you never know what kind of hardware will be available. Will the computers at your destination have compatible software? Hardware? Will your added media function correctly? That is why it is much easier to convert your PowerPoint presentations to flash animation on the go. You will still be able to embed audio and visual media, and all your specialty transitions will still work well.
