Cisco’s Slido is the ultimate audience interaction platform and it needed to integrate to more slideshow platforms.
Panaxeo made integrating into MS PowerPoint for MacOS possible with research and a proof of concept. The cooperation that followed turned it into reality.
The Partner
You’ve heard of Cisco, a giant covering 41% of global enterprise network infrastructure. You’ve also heard of its product, Slido, an audience interaction platform used more than 1.7 million times.
The world can thank them for making boring slideshows fun, engaging, and interactive. They boast a world-class DevOps team and constant support. New features and integrations of this audience interaction platform keep rolling out, and Panaxeo is proud to help. Plus, they are cool people. We have clicked.
The Mission
Regarding integrations, Cisco contacted Panaxeo to help integrate Slido into MS PowerPoint for MacOS. Integrating would have been the easy part. They feared what they needed wasn’t even technologically feasible.
We got our hands dirty and dug deep. After 6 months of meticulous research, it turned out the impossible was, indeed, possible! We made a Proof of Concept. There was a way. Several, in fact.
Due to Slido’s specific needs, the official MS add-ins were insufficient. We built a full-on custom native integration of Slido into MS PowerPoint for MacOS. Slido’s engineers joined hands with Panaxeans, and we got to work.
The result?
Slido is now available for MS PowerPoint for MacOS.
… and for Zoom as well.
MS PowerPoint for MacOS integration Proof of Concept – previously thought impossible.
2 new platforms – MS PowerPoint for MacOS and Zoom.
Team Augmentation with custom-tailored teams for further development.
Seamless integration on the individual, team, and HR levels.
Regular feedback sessions, HR overlap, custom team compositions.

“Panaxeo played a key part in driving the initial R&D of our macOS integrations. This was not an easy task, as there was no precedence in our product field. With their help, we were able to find a solution. Without their support, the project would take significantly longer to complete.”
