I am not sure how may of you use Visio? Probably a small percentage but it is such a powerful tool, I am so surprised more do not.

Did you know it can create all of the following:

  • Flowcharts
  • Cross Functional Flowcharts
  • Work Flow Diagrams
  • Floor plans
  • Maps
  • Office layouts
  • Organisation charts
  • Data flows
  • Basic electrical charts
  • Audit diagrams
  • Wireframe diagrams
  • Rack diagrams
  • Basic network diagrams
  • 3D maps diagrams

You also have hundreds of shapes, templates and stencils to support you including specialist areas such as:

  • Business Process Modeling Notation Diagram
  • Fault Tree Analysis Diagram
  • IDEF0 Diagram
  • ITIL Diagram
  • Microsoft SharePoint Workflow
  • SDL Diagram
  • Six Sigma Diagram
