Connect to data sources
With Microsoft Visio you can easily create diagrams like timelines, organization charts, and calendars from a data source:
____________________
Excel
Active Directory
SQL Server
SQL Azure
Microsoft Access
SharePoint
Visio allows for diagrams to connect to more than 1 data source, like Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server. Linked data will always be current without manual effort, thanks to Automatic Refresh. These linked diagrams can act as dashboards and be used to monitor real-time progress and performance. Data is refreshed automatically so diagrams actually adjust themselves.
SharePoint Process Repository
Diagrams for business processes and sub-processes can be reused and shared via Visio’s integration with SharePoint Process Repository.
Two-way data connections
Two-way data connections can be created so that data changes in the Visio diagram will affect the data source.
