When Zensa, a trusted Microsoft 360 partner, needed a fresh corporate pitch deck to help pitch their technology solutions to enterprise clients, they brought us in. The ask wasn’t small: take a lot of dense, technical service information—think Azure, IoT, DevOps pipelines, workload migration frameworks—and turn it into something a business leader could understand, care about, and act on.
They wanted clarity. They wanted flow. Most of all, they wanted their services to feel real, not theoretical.
The Goal
The pitch deck needed to:
- Present Zensa as a credible, sharp, modern consulting firm
- Speak confidently to enterprise decision-makers in IT, cloud, and operations
- Highlight actual outcomes from real clients—not just capabilities
- Showcase their partnership with Microsoft
- Be reusable for different audiences, from buyers to partners to internal stakeholders
The Problem With Most Tech Decks
Too many tech decks read like internal documentation. They’re bloated. Overwritten. Buried in buzzwords. The value gets lost. That wasn’t going to fly here.
Zensa is doing some impressive work in cloud enablement, IoT implementation, app modernization, and data analytics. But it was buried under slides that tried to say everything at once.
So we came in, stripped it down, and built it back up—slide by slide.
What We Did (And Why It Worked)
We started by reworking the entire flow of the deck. The first step was understanding what Zensa actually does—not just in technical terms, but in business terms. That meant reading through their service docs, dissecting their Microsoft partnerships, and digging into their case studies.
Then we mapped out a new structure.
1. Clear Narrative Arc
We built the story around this idea: Zensa helps big companies move faster by getting more from Microsoft cloud tech.
That story plays out across four key themes:
- “Who we are” – Zensa’s people, culture, values, and growth
- “What we offer” – core services like cloud migration, DevOps, IoT, and app modernization
- “Who we’ve helped” – detailed client case studies with real metrics
- “Why it matters” – results, partnerships, and future-ready solutions
Each section flows into the next without jargon or filler.
2. Client Case Studies That Actually Land
Most decks gloss over the client wins. Not here.
We created deep-dive case study slides for:
E&Y – Cloud Migration
- 70+ workloads, 500+ compute instances migrated
- Enabled full shift from aging infrastructure to modern Azure setup
- Zensa built the migration plan, executed it, and trained staff to own it moving forward
Vonigo – DevOps & Automation
- 200% faster time from idea to feature release
- Automated CI/CD pipelines slashed deployment times to just 3 hours
- End-to-end infrastructure automation using GitOps and Azure DevOps
Prospur.io – SMB App Modernization
- Azure-native business management platform for small service-based businesses
- Served 30M+ SMBs with lead gen, CRM, reputation, and billing tools—all in one place
- Helped SMBs cut tool-switching, boost cash flow predictability, and save time
CSU – IoT & Analytics for Energy Optimization
- IoT sensors integrated with HVAC and lighting systems across campus
- Over 3500 sensors processed data via Azure Data Lake and PowerBI
- Achieved 38% energy savings and 70% reduction in carbon emissions vs similar buildings
These weren’t just logos. These were proof points.
Design Approach
We treated design as a function of clarity. Every layout choice was intentional. Every slide served a role.
Here’s what we focused on:
Simplicity Wins
We avoided clutter. White space was our friend. Every slide got one core message—backed by visuals that clarified, not distracted.
We made heavy use of:
- Grid systems to keep things aligned and breathable
- Icons to represent services and tools without blocks of text
- Diagrams to explain complex workflows like migration pipelines and DevOps lifecycles
- Real metrics and outcomes highlighted with bold typography
Flexible Layouts for Modular Use
Each slide was built to stand on its own. That meant Zensa could pull a few slides for a quick meeting or run the full deck for a formal presentation.
We also included optional slides they could swap in based on who they were speaking to—technical leads, execs, partners, or procurement.
Consistent Branding
We kept everything aligned with Zensa’s brand identity—down to the font, color palette, and icon style. The tone stayed professional, but not cold. Clean, not stiff.
We made sure each slide looked like Zensa knew exactly who they were and what they stood for.
Highlights from the Final Deck
Slide Types Included:
- Overview of Zensa’s expertise and industry reach
- Visual maps of services across cloud, data, and automation
- A breakdown of their flexible consulting model (onshore, offshore, outcome-based, etc.)
- Testimonials and partnership proof from Microsoft executives
- Visual representations of cloud migration processes
- Outcome-driven case studies
- Scalable frameworks for co-selling and partner expansion
Tools Used in the Build:
- PowerPoint (for final deck delivery)
- Figma (wireframes and layout planning)
- Adobe Illustrator (custom icons and diagrams)
Project Timeline:
- Discovery and content structuring: 1 week
- Design and layout: 2 weeks
- Edits, feedback, polish: 1 week
Zensa’s leadership team loved the final result. They’ve since used the deck in multiple strategic meetings, from internal training to Microsoft partnership sessions.
Why It Worked
This wasn’t just a slide redesign. It was a rethink of how Zensa tells their story.
They didn’t need a deck that explained every service line in microscopic detail. They needed something that would:
- Spark conversations
- Build trust
- Show momentum
- Make enterprise buyers feel confident in saying yes
That’s exactly what this deck does.
And because it’s modular, it can grow with them. They can add new case studies, update service lines, or tweak the structure without starting from scratch.
Tech companies often struggle to tell their own story. They get lost in features, acronyms, and certifications. What they need is a translator—someone who can take their expertise and package it in a way that clicks with a business decision-maker.
That’s what we did for Zensa.
If you’re in tech and tired of pitching with clunky decks that don’t land, we should talk. We build PowerPoint decks that communicate clearly, close faster, and actually make people pay attention.
