Gigantic files? Overflowing inboxes?
The solution is coming: NXPowerLite

Most Microsoft Office, JPEG and PDF files are unnecessarily overloaded and unsuitable for sharing with other users. Your inboxes are clogged by large e-mail attachments, sending messages takes ages, and sometime they don't get sent at all.

For IT departments that means: more storage capacity is required, the mail servers work more slowly, transfer speeds drop and there are more and more calls for IT support. NXPowerLite Desktop Edition gets to the root of these problems and compresses
Powerpoint, Word, Excel, JPEG and PDF files by up to 95%.

Astonishingly simple: files are compressed right in Microsoft Office, or the program integrates itself into the e-mail client and automatically compresses attachments when messages are sent. This way, the files maintain their original formats with all features, and without a loss in visual quality.

System requirements:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 or later
- Integration into Microsoft Office requires the 2002-2010 versions of Office
- E-mail integration requires Lotus Notes (6.0-8.5), Microsoft Outlook (2002-2010), Microsoft Outlook Express (6.0+) or Microsoft Windows Mail
