Visio is packed with enhancements to make it easier to get started,
find the stencils you want to use, and quickly get great-looking
results with over 60 built-in templates, many with updated shapes.
You can also create and customize professional-looking diagrams
using a rich set of expanded and improved effects and themes that
apply a completely different design in just one or two clicks. With
Visio, you can link the shapes in your diagram to your business
data to visually represent complex information. Several popular
data sources are supported, including Microsoft Excel, Microsoft
Excel Services, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SQL Azure, and
Microsoft SharePoint Business Connectivity Services. This allows
you to reveal patterns and meaning in your data with data graphics,
such as vibrant icons, symbols, colors, and bar graphs. Visio
simplifies how you create SharePoint workflows and Microsoft
Project workflows to support demand management. You can create and
publish SharePoint workflows visually with updated support for
Windows Workflow Foundation 4.0 (including support for stages and
loops and better integration with Microsoft SharePoint Designer)
and also use Visio to create visual Project workflows for demand
management, which work with both Microsoft Project Server and
Microsoft Project Online.
