SmartDraw 2010 Puts an End to Communication Breakdown

SAN DIEGO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — September 1, 2009

SmartDraw.com, maker of the SmartDraw, the software that helps you work smarter by communicating visually, today announced the release of SmartDraw 2010, a new offering aimed at helping organizations put an end to communication breakdown by enabling the average businessperson to communicate effectively using visuals.

 

“In this economy nobody can afford new software that offers only a few fancy new bells and whistles,” says Paul Stannard, CEO of SmartDraw.com. “People and their organizations are only going to invest in new software if the product can offer substantial return on investment, and that’s exactly what we have delivered with SmartDraw 2010.”

Eliminating Workplace Problems through More Effective Communication

SmartDraw software enables the average business person to communicate more effectively through visuals. Studies have shown that communication which includes both words and visuals is up to six times more effective than words alone. A flowchart is a more effective tool for explaining a process than a long list of numbered steps; an organizational chart is a more effective tool for communicating the structure of an organization than a page-long written description; and so forth.

Most people don’t use any kind of visual when they communicate because they think that it’s too difficult to do.

SmartDraw 2010 automates the tedious tasks that used to make drawing difficult and makes it possible for the average businessperson to communicate complex information and ideas clearly and quickly.
