Work visually. Diagramming made simple.
Simplify and communicate complex information with data-linked diagrams that you can create in just a few clicks
Visio makes diagramming simple. Whether you want to quickly capture a flowchart that you brainstormed on a whiteboard, map an IT network, build an organizational chart, document a business process, or draw a floor plan, Visio helps you work visually.
Create professional diagrams
Visio makes it easy and intuitive to create flowcharts, diagrams, org charts, floor plans, engineering designs and more using modern shapes and templates with the familiar Office experience.
Work better together
Work together on Visio flowcharts to include insights from all stakeholders. And with Office 365, multiple team members can work on diagrams at the same time.
Gain real world insights
Connect your flowcharts and diagrams to real-time data. Applied shape formatting automatically updates your flowcharts to reflect changes in the underlying data, either in Visio or through Office 365.
Visio Online
Visio Online helps you work together on diagrams from a web browser, from almost anywhere. Draw a flowchart, map an IT network, build an organizational chart, or document a business process.
Business process for everyone
Collaborate easily on process design and use out-of-the-box templates that conform to industry standards (BPM, EPC, Six Sigma, and more). Share your process models in a browser across the organization and benefit from increased visibility and compliance.
Define processes efficiently
Design processes with built-in templates and the standard notation of your choice, whether it's BPMN 2.0 or EPC. Preconfigured validation rules check your models against best practices to increase model accuracy.
Collaborate on process models
Bring teamwork to process optimization with familiar co-authoring and collaboration tools. Chat with stakeholders via Skype for Business within the context of process models. Easily add comments, work together on the model, or annotate using a pen or finger.
Increase process visibility and compliance
Surface information like cost or risk level directly on a process map, or link a policy diagram to a process step. Share data-linked process diagrams across your organization to increase transparency and compliance, and keep everyone in sync with process KPIs.
Simplify layout and design processes
Bring simplicity to real-world designs of floor plans, engineering architectures, and manufacturing processes by using ready-made shapes and templates. Work together easily on imported AutoCAD drawings, and use data-linked diagrams to stay on top of operational insights.
Design floor plans, electrical plans, or manufacturing processes easily
Increase efficiency and stay compliant with ready-made shapes and built-in templates that align to industry standards like Six Sigma and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Build floor plans, P&ID layouts, electrical plans, or lean manufacturing processes with visually appealing design and real-world accuracy.
Collaborate on CAD-based drawings
Work together on imported AutoCAD designs using familiar collaboration tools like Skype for Business, co-authoring, comments, or hand-drawn annotation. Reduce layers, highlight key architectural information, or add smart shapes. Share enriched design in high fidelity with anyone through a browser or iPad app.
Stay on top of operational insights
Use quick data linking to surface KPIs for resource use, quality control, and more, on top of layouts, engineering designs, or manufacturing processes. Identify inefficiencies easily, and keep the entire organization in sync with operational insights visualized on top of real-world processes and designs.
