SAN DIEGO - October 16, 2007 - SmartDraw.com today announced the launch of its new Encyclopedia of Business Graphics.
This comprehensive encyclopedia features every kind of chart, diagram, schematic, and illustration used by businesses to communicate information. In addition to a detailed definition, the encyclopedia provides colorful real-world examples. It also includes information illustrating how every-day business people can use graphics to improve productivity and communicate more effectively, in dozens of activities such as accounting, human resources, and sales.
"Today, business owners know that success depends on more graphical communication," said Paul Stannard, SmartDraw.com CEO. "The best way to quickly communicate-and differentiate-a message, plan or process is to show people. No sales presentation, annual report or business communication is as effective without a chart, diagram, or visual."
From flowcharts to family trees, from Ishikawa diagrams to Interrelationship diagrams, virtually every major business graphic is represented in the encyclopedia. It allows you to search by business graphic or activity, and also includes links to more examples, best practices for using a particular graphic, as well as related activities and whitepapers. In addition, users can download a free Encyclopedia of Business Graphics poster, a handy chart for quick reference.
Readers can also download a template of each example and modify it using SmartDraw, the world's most popular business graphics software.
"We created the Encyclopedia of Business Graphics to meet a very real business need." said Paul Stannard, SmartDraw.com CEO. "Millions of computer users want to use business graphics but are unsure of which format to use, and how to create it themselves. By providing the Encyclopedia of Business Graphics and SmartDraw, we solve this problem."
