Summary


So, this was the last chapter. You learned about creating, reading, viewing, and sharing Visio data diagrams. Visio is more than graphics, and it is more than data. It is visual information that can be refreshable, and therefore, stay relevant and useful for assisting with business decisions. Correctly used, it provides the backbone of an operational intelligence system that can add real clarity to many parts of a business.

Visio will continue developing for many years to come, and Microsoft will add more ways to interact with Visio documents on the web. The skills outlined in this book will remain relevant and reusable. So, be smart, be clear, and be visual!
