News about Microsoft Visio
2017. Microsoft launched online version of Visio
Microsoft Visio was the first popular editor for creating diagrams and charts, as well as designing interfaces. Then, with the advent of numerous online alternatives like Gliffy and OmniGraffle, which were more convenient for collaboration, the heavyweight Visio was largely forgotten. For some reason, Microsoft didn't release an online version of Visio along with other office editors (Word, Excel), and then (in 2016) released only an online diagram viewer. And now, finally, only now, has a full version been released - Visio Online, which allows collaborative creation and editing of diagrams in a web browser. The service costs $5 per user per month. The free diagram viewer is available in all Office 365 plans. It can also be used to view diagrams in a browser on iPads and Android tablets.
2016. Microsoft Visio app comes Android and iOS
Just a few weeks ago, Microsoft began testing Visio for iOS, and at the Ignite conference, the company announced that the Visio app would soon be coming to Android tablets. Unfortunately, details about the app itself are scant. For example, Microsoft hasn't yet announced when the app will be available for Android. However, we do know that the Android app will have feature parity with the iOS app, which is good news. We'll let you know when the app is available for Android and iOS, but in the meantime, let us know if you're looking forward to it in the comments below.
2008. Visio borrows ideas from Web 2.0
Microsoft plans to transform its Visio flowchart editor into a tool for creating live online diagrams that draw data from updated sources, similar to Web 2.0 mashups. Visio will also feature business process management tools, allowing flowcharts to not only monitor processes in real time but also quickly modify workflows. These capabilities may appear in the next version of Visio, scheduled for release around 2010. Visio is a member of the Office family, not included in the standard distribution of the suite. According to Microsoft, the editor, widely used in manufacturing, professional services, and financial services, has approximately 15 million users, a third of whom are IT professionals who use Visio to create network infrastructure diagrams and workflow charts. The next version of the application is planned to, among other things, support the Business Process Modeling Notation standard, which will enable automatic process modeling and certification. Over time, processes will be able to be managed and modified directly from Visio diagrams.
