Presentation software is integral to modern business culture in both Brazil and the USA, with PowerPoint being the de facto standard. In Brazil, particularly in São Paulo's corporate sector, there's increasing adoption of cloud-based alternatives like Google Slides and Prezi. The term is commonly understood in both Portuguese and English in professional contexts, though some Brazilians may colloquially refer to it as 'programa de slides' (slide program). In North American culture, skill with presentation software is considered essential for professional advancement.
