QUESTION & DISCUSSION

1.       What Advantage use the Software Visio

·         One of the main advantages of using Visio as opposed to other diagramming software is that is shares a common interface with the other applications in the Microsoft Office Suite, and therefore much less of a learning curve is required to start using the software, if one is familiar with Office, which is generally the case, given the suite's ubiquity within most organisations. This is a major advantage where collaboration is essential, for example, where an Information Architect must share receive input from clients, designers, creaters of content to be placed on the site and so on, since it really only requires that a version of Office that includes Visio is installed, rather than specialised software that the other contributors wouldn't neccessarily need.
