Pioneers in Presentation Management & Enterprise Solutions for Business Storytelling

 

Our Story

Shufflrr was co-founded by the brother-sister team of James Ontra and AlexAnndra Ontra. The duo have been developing and marketing presentation software together for more than two decades (and still laugh about it). 

 

As the technology advanced and their expertise expanded, they found that one thing stayed the same: the fundamental need for enterprises to tell their stories. 

 

That’s why Shufflrr was born, and what it lives to do.

Introduction of first multimedia laptop presentations

As laptops with sight, sound and motion gained traction, so did a need for better presentations. James caught a glimpse of the future and sold some of the first interactive presentation systems. Notable early adopters included IBM, NBC Olympics, Lucent Technologies, British Airways, Cigna, Hilton Hotels, and MGM James Bond.

Ontra Presentations gets off to a scrappy, successful start

With a borrowed desk, two phones and licensing rights to the Iguana Presentation system, James and AlexAnndra founded Ontra Presentations. They cold-called prospects every day for eight hours, and within 90 days had landed ABC National Television Stations and Towers Perrin.

YouTube changed the game – and the Slide Library was born

YouTube democratized digital video, and their business model needed to evolve. When a client asked "Can you just make it work in PowerPoint?", they developed PPTshuffle — their first user-friendly Slide Library that incorporated multimedia assets and synchronized to a central location.

The year we all learned to work (and present) remotely

The COVID-19 pandemic brought a shift to remote work for even the largest enterprises. Shufflrr adapted with version-controlled slide update propagation, reuse features, and new collaboration tools to make a difficult time a little bit easier.

Karl Turkel Executive Creative Director

With Shufflrr, we never worry about outdated presentations. When a client opens a deck, they’re seeing the most current version automatically—it’s always up to date through a single link.

Jill Broadhurst Commercial Support Group Manager

Before Shufflrr, our files were scattered and version control was a constant challenge. Now everything is centralized, managed, and easy to find.

Shannae Murray Sales Training Manager

Shufflrr gives us a clean, organized library of presentations that’s intuitive and easy for our teams to use.

Karen Morlock Senior CX Product Manager

Shufflrr dramatically improved efficiency for us—what used to require dozens of people is now maintained by a much smaller team.

Pam Kowalski Marketing Platform Management

Before Shufflrr, presentation management felt chaotic and uncontrolled. Now everything is branded, compliant, and governed.
