Edgeworth Properties Presentation Engine

Edgeworth Properties Inc. is a multi-million dollar land investment company that sources, evaluates and purchases undeveloped land in the direct path of urban growth. Edgeworth approached me in early 2006 about developing a presentation and sales pitch utility for their meetings with potential clients and investors. With satellite offices around the globe, the utility had to be easy to use, driven completely through the keyboard’s arrow + enter keys (for further use with wireless pointers), as well as maintain a certain amount of flexibility for changing or developing new presentations as the company grew and acquired new projects.

For example, Chapter 2 of the first presentation contains about 12 slides of graphs about Alberta and it’s economic boom, some of which Edgeworth would remove depending on where they were presenting and to whom they were presenting to. To maintain the ease of this type of maintenance, the entire presentation engine is driven through XML and Actionscript 2.
