Microsoft Office Visio 2010, 2007 and 2003 make it easy for IT and business professionals to visualize, explore, and communicate complex information. Go from complicated text and tables that are hard to understand to Visio diagrams that communicate information at a glance. Instead of static pictures, create data-connected Visio diagrams that display data, are easy to refresh, and dramatically increase your productivity.

A wide range of templates — business process flowcharts, network diagrams, workflow diagrams, database models, and software diagrams — come with Visio to visualize and streamline business processes, track projects and resources, organization charts, map networks, diagram building sites, and optimize systems. Use the wide variety of diagrams in Visio to understand, act on, and share information about organizational systems, resources, and processes throughout your enterprise.

Classes are available on our public schedule for Visio 2010, 2007 and 2003.
