Learn Microsoft Visio

Visualize your data and ideas

Microsoft Visio is a software platform developed by Microsoft for drawing a variety of diagrams. These diagrams include: flowcharts, organizational charts, to-scale building floor plans, data flow diagrams, process flow diagrams, business process modeling, 3D maps, and a variety of other diagrams.

Event planners use Visio to create to-scale floor plans of conference and exhibition halls to ensure booths will fit for trade shows or events. Visio ensures that people planning events can maximize their profits through proper use of floor space.

Many government and crown corporations use Visio to create and update organizational charts for their many ministries and large departments. These documents are crucial for keeping organizational hierarchies intact.
