Microsoft Visio licence: Visualise data professionally
Microsoft Visio is a visualisation program designed to make complex data easy to understand and visualise using simple diagrams.
A Microsoft Visio licence allows you to:
- Create flowcharts for documenting business processes: Document business processes clearly and precisely. This can help to improve how employees communicate and understand one another.
- Design network diagrams: Identify potential problems by visualising the network topology. This can help improve network performance and security.
- Prepare organisational charts: Structure an organisation to improve communication and decision making.
- Design floor plans & building plans: Visio Floor Plans can be used to plan and design the layout of buildings. This can help to improve efficiency and safety.
The desktop application is part of the Microsoft Office family in the broadest sense, but is not part of an Office suite and can only be purchased separately. Microsoft Visio is available both as a standalone application and is also included in Microsoft 365.
Visio is similar to Microsoft Office programs in its use, for example, in its selection of fonts and colours. Data can also be transferred directly from these applications for convenience. The template library is another useful feature that makes it easy to create a wide range of charts, especially for beginners.
