In May, SlideShare received the ultimate endorsement of its business platform to share documents, videos, webinars and slide presentations. LinkedIn shelled out $119 million to acquire the company, which was launched in 2006 as a way to network and generate business leads by giving away useful in-depth content.
SlideShare is also comforting evidence that not all business communication has been reduced to a 140-character Tweet. According to TechCrunch, at the time of the sale there were already 7.4 million presentations embedded across more than 1.4 million unique URLs. Prominent users include WhiteHouse.gov, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, NASA, the United Nations, Pfizer, Dell, Hewlett Packard, IBM, McGraw-Hill, Royal Dutch Shell and Blackberry (RIM).
SlideShare was also named one of the Top 10 Learning Tools of 2011 by Britain’s Centre For Learning & Performance Technologies, which focuses on education, training and workplace learning. As such, the tool is widely used on global companies’ intranet networks.
There are numerous natural applications for this sharing platform within every company, spanning from Human Resources to Marketing to Sales.
So how does Sprinklr improve your SlideShare experience?
Sprinklr’s SlideShare Widget encourages employees to share relevant presentations with the entire company or customers through an Uploader on an intermediary webpage instead of through the company’s SlideShare account or Sprinklr account.
A pilot doesn’t want to give all his or her crewmembers, no matter how trustworthy, a turn to grab the controls in the cockpit.
The SlideShare Widget lets Business Executives and Content Managers efficiently set parameters on how SlideShare presentations are shared and who ultimately gets to see them — without compromising the security of their entire social media platform.

The SlideShare Uploader Widget can be embedded on your chosen webpage with an iFrame code you can cut and paste from the Widget Manager.

Being Social@Scale means reaching out to your audience where THEY want to hang out. SlideShare is now reporting 60 million monthly visitors and expect much more integration with LinkedIn over the coming months.
Let the sharing begin!
