With Microsoft Visio Professional 2007 Upgrade, IT and business people can
easily visualize, explore and communicate complex information. Complicated text
and tables can be turned into Visio diagrams, which give the information at a
glance. Visio diagrams are connected to their data, so it's easy to refresh and
stay up to date. Information about organizational systems, resources, and
processes is easily understood and acted upon with the Visio 2007 diagrams.
*Visio Professional 2007 offers advanced functionality, such as data
connectivity and visualization features, that Office Visio Standard 2007 does
not.
Visualize Complex Information
- Visio 2007 can help you visualize your business, track projects and resources,
chart organizations, map networks, build diagrams and optimize systems.
- Use templates in Visio 2007 like business process flowcharts, network diagrams,
workflow diagrams, database models and software diagrams.
- New templates, such as the ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library)
template and the Value Stream Mapping template help you create a broader range
of diagrams.
- Use the Getting Started window to browse templates by category (or view recent
templates) and see a large preview before you open it.
- New sample diagrams are found in the Getting Started window, which can spark
ideas for your own creative diagrams.
- New AutoConnect function connects shapes, evenly distributes them, and then
aligns them with just one click.
Study and Explore your Information
- Connect diagrams to data sources like Excel and Access. New linking methods
populate each shape property based on data value.
- New Data Graphics feature allows you to display shape data attractively. Display
data fields next to a shape, in boxes below a shape or directly on top of a
shape.
- Use Refresh Data feature in Visio 2007 to automatically refresh all the data in
your diagrams as it changes.
- Use PivotDiagrams and create different views of the same data so you can
understand the issues better.
Share Diagrams with Everyone
- Theme Feature in Visio 2007 Pro makes it simple to format every aspect of colors
and effects on a diagram with a single click.
- Save in PDF or XPS so your Visio 2007 diagram can reach even those who don't
have Visio.
- Share diagrams as a Web page with navigation, reports and style sheets.
- Share Visio diagrams with others via Windows SharePoint Services. A diagram
opened in SharePoint Services displays a Workspace pane displaying files,
members, tasks and links.
- Multiple people can work on the same diagram with Track Markup feature, which
makes each reviewer's contributions clear to the others.
Customize Visio 2007 Professional to Your Needs
- Visualize custom solutions, such as Unified Modeling Language (UML), data flow,
and Windows user interface diagrams.
- The Software Development Kit (SDK) helps developers build programs, and includes
extensive samples, tools, and documents to simplify the development of custom
applications. It also includes a set of functions, classes, and procedures for
common tasks.
- Program the Visio drawing environment in custom applications or programs with
the Visio Drawing Tool. And the Visio Drawing Tool can be integrated with the
host app's UI, so it becomes a smooth part of the application.
- Control features in Visio 2007 programatically, like connecting to a data
source, linking shapes with data, graphically displaying data, connecting shapes
automatically, monitoring mouse-drag actions and applying theme colors and
effects.
