Microsoft Visio is a stand-alone diagramming solution that helps people visualize and communicate ideas, information, and systems. Visio helps you both define and document the complexities of your daily work life, and effectively share your ideas and information with others. When you incorporate Visio diagrams into Office documents, your message becomes more concise, people are more likely to remember main points, and cultural and technical barriers are more easily overcome.
