Microsoft Visio 2010

Whether you're creating an organisational chart, a network diagram, or a business process, the new tools and more intuitive interface in Visio 2010 make it easier to bring your diagrams to life.

Start by building your diagram with a diverse set of professional-looking templates and modern, pre-drawn shapes. Then, easily link your diagram to popular data sources (such as Microsoft Office Excel). You'll see data automatically refresh right within your diagram, reflected in vibrant visuals such as icons, symbols, colours and bar graphs.

Finally, with just a few clicks, publish your data-linked diagram to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, and provide access to others on the Web, even if they don't have Visio. Together, simplicity, data-driven shapes, and Web sharing make Visio one of the most powerful ways to see and understand important information.
