PPTX Input
Move from approved content to deployable CLM faster than traditional production workflows allow.
From approved PowerPoint to Veeva CLM — delivered efficiently and with high visual quality.
Tight timelines. Late updates. Complex navigation. We’ve built CLM Forge to remove the bottleneck between approval and launch.
Our proprietary system converts approved PPT/PPTX material into fully structured, Veeva-ready CLM presentations with exceptional speed and precision — while preserving interactivity, structure, original intent, video, hidden slides, notes, local links and navigation logic. Optional custom stories can also be enabled when teams need flexible, user-built conversation flows. For security-sensitive teams, CLM Forge can also be offered as a Local Runtime / Secure Processing setup where input and output handling stays within a controlled customer environment.
Even highly complex presentations are often delivered within minutes. No rebuilding. No manual recreation. No compromise.
What This Means for Your Team
Accurate Conversion
Structured output engineered for stable loading and smooth performance in Veeva CLM.
Optional 2D Story Structure
Generate 2D navigation and structured story flows when needed — or keep a simpler structure depending on the use case.
Custom Menu by Default
Custom menu architecture ensures clarity and speed, even in highly complex presentation flows.
Curated Story Journeys
Marketing teams can continuously curate and push approved custom stories to the sales force. Based on usage statistics from Veeva CLM, these story journeys can be refined and redeployed over time.
Interactivity, Video, Speaker Notes and Hidden Slides Kept
Hotspots, embedded video, and hidden-slide logic remain fully functional — no rebuilding required.
*Slide animations are partially supported but not page transitions.
PDFs (local & remote)
Linking to local and remote PDFs is supported. Just add a link in the PPTX and the source will be included.
True to the original design
User-defined formats, fonts and typography are preserved exactly as in the source presentation.
Why Clients Choose CLM Forge
Beyond speed, CLM Forge is designed for enterprise-grade delivery, predictable QA, and scalable rollout across markets and brands.
Veeva-Ready Delivery, Out of the Box
Each run delivers per-slide packages, a shared resources zip, and Vault Loader CSV support.
Metadata Control for Rollout
Lifecycle, language, product, and market fields can be configured to fit enterprise governance.
Local Runtime / Secure Processing
For security-sensitive teams, CLM Forge can also be offered in a setup where source files and generated outputs are handled within a controlled customer environment, while licensing and limited operational metadata can still be managed online where agreed.
Advanced Navigation Support
Supports hidden slides, off-path behavior, optional 2D story structures, and global linking — without manual setup.
Reusable Shared Components
Shared assets plus optional custom head/body snippets keep experiences consistent across all slides.
Lower QA Risk with Preview
Preview outputs before load to catch navigation and rendering issues earlier in the process.
Field‑Informed Story Updates
Veeva CLM analytics reveal how presentations are used in the field. Marketing teams can combine these insights with AI‑assisted analysis to curate improved story journeys and redeploy them quickly — without rebuilding the full presentation.
Bridge Compatibility
Supports both modern gotoSlideV2 and legacy gotoSlide workflows based on client
environment needs.
What Actually Matters in CLM Production
When teams compare CLM conversion options, the real question is not just whether a deck can be converted — but how much manual handling, compromise, and rework is required along the way.

Most traditional workflows require manual handling for several of these steps — often outside the core tool. CLM Forge reduces those handovers, which makes production faster, simpler, and more predictable.
Simple. Controlled. Fast.
Step 1
Provide Approved Material
Send finalized PPTX files (and PDF where needed to lock layout and fonts) as the secure foundation.
Step 2
CLM Forge Conversion
Our system transforms the content into a structured, Veeva-compatible build with predefined navigation and menu architecture.
Step 3
Ready for Deployment
Receive production-ready outputs prepared for Veeva Multichannel Loader, testing, and approval workflows.
Designed for Real-World CLM Complexity
Built for teams working within real approval cycles, complex structures, and constant updates — not simplified demo scenarios.
Works with Existing Brand Systems
Use approved PowerPoint templates, existing layouts, and established brand guidelines without rebuilding content into a new production format.
Handles Updates More Efficiently
When content changes, individual slides can be updated or removed without forcing a full rebuild of the entire presentation.
Supports Complex Content
Video, supported slide animations, hidden slides, speaker notes, internal PDF linking, and structured story flows can all be handled within the conversion workflow.
Balances Control and Field Flexibility
Marketing teams can define curated stories while sales representatives can still create their own custom story selections through “My Stories”.
Fits Controlled Environments
For security-sensitive organizations, CLM Forge can be offered with Europe-based storage or as a local runtime setup within a controlled customer environment.
Built for Practical Deployment
Outputs are prepared for real Veeva delivery workflows, helping teams move from approved source material to deployment with fewer handovers and less manual overhead.
