 Some time ago I was sent an evaluation copy of SmartDraw - a business graphics program. I mention that upfront merely as a statement of fact. This is not a sponsored post and I have no stake in whether or not you look at, consider or purchase the software.That said, if you produce charts or diagrams of any type in support of your business, you ought to give this software a serious investigation. It's that good. SmartDraw includes a series of templates to make any type of business chart or graph you can image:
Here's a link to a number of examples. There are three things I really like about this software: 1) It's idiot proof - the templates are spot-on and easy to personalize 2) It's almost impossible to not look professional - all you have to do to make great looking charts is know what information you want to present 3) All charts are exportable to business software (word processing, spreadsheets, presentation, etc.) and there's a built in PDF export. Over the past few months, I've used this software a handful of times to communicate and present ideas to customers:
Again, if you're in the business of communicating ideas, this is a great application to consider. There is a free trial and a single user license currently costs $197. If you're even mildly interested, I suggest you take advantage of the trial. One potential drawback...according to the published system requirements, this software is only supported by Windows.
