InfoWorld | at | by Mike

Hoping to ramp up its strategic appeal to corporations, Microsoft has updated its Visio diagramming tool. The latest version will make more efficient use of Office desktop applications and line-of-business data residing on servers. Down the road, Microsoft plans to deepen the tool's business-intelligence capabilities.

The newly named Microsoft Office Visio 2003, now an integral part of Microsoft's Office System, is aimed at its core technical users and also at business users to help them reduce the manual labor involved in pulling together and integrating information from multiple sources.
