Business Impacts of Microsoft Visio

Dear Mr. Peterson,


As per our discussion I have conducted a research on a potential implementation of a diagram drawing software into our company. After spending hours on the subject and comparing numerous programs such as: EDraw, Dia Diagram Editor, Smart Draw, OpenOffice.org Draw, Microsoft Visio and etc. I have come to a conclusion that even though some of the programs are free, have lots of options and great features, they do not even come close to Microsoft Visio. You would say “…well it is just a software that lets you string together lots of boxes and arrows?” You would be wrong… This software is a powerful yet intelligent tool that would let us create accurate and up-to-date diagrams, it will also allow us to communicate in a visual manner, make our diagram more meaningful, flexible and responsive to our needs. It has a fluent and intuitive design, very similar to the Microsoft Office one that we are all used to and it will let us collaborate and accesses it pretty much from any device. Therefore, this will most probably reduce the time our staff would need to be trained and begin to work with it. Microsoft Visio would also let us link shapes to data from sources such as Microsoft Excel

I welcome any questions or comments you may have.

Regards,

Anna Szperlak
