Product Description
The advanced diagramming tools of Visio help you simplify complexity
with dynamic, data-driven visuals and new ways to share on the Web in real time.
Start by building your diagram with professional-looking templates and
modern, pre-drawn shapes. Then, easily link your diagram to popular data sources
(such as Excel). You¡¯ll see data automatically refresh right within your
diagram, reflected in vibrant visuals such as icons, symbols, colors, and bar
graphs. Finally, with just a few clicks, publish your data-linked diagram to
SharePoint, and provide access to others on the Web, even if they do not have
Visio.
Together, simplicity, data-driven shapes, and Web sharing make Visio one
of the most powerful ways to see and understand important information.
