San Diego, Calif. — May 10, 2006 - SmartDraw.com, the world's leading publisher of easy-to-use healthcare diagramming software, announced today that OfficeMax©, a leader in business-to-business office product solutions and retail office products, will distribute the popular SmartDraw Healthcare Edition (www.smartdrawhealth.com) into the medical product solutions channel.
"We're pleased to offer the SmartDraw Healthcare Edition to our hospital and health clinic customers. It represents a great opportunity for us to differentiate our products from the competition," said Trae Roby, Health Care National Account Manager. "Healthcare practitioners are excited about the product because it gives them greater control over producing the types of patient and staff education materials required in their day-to-day operations."
The SmartDraw Healthcare Edition allows healthcare professionals to create quality artwork in minutes, choosing from ready-to-use graphics, including medical illustrations from LifeArt and Netter images from Elsevier, medical symbols, and pre-drawn templates.
With the SmartDraw Healthcare Edition, creating compelling diagrams is easy. Users simply modify existing templates by dragging-and-dropping ready-made graphics from built-in libraries onto the page. With helpful features such as automatic alignment and formatting, SmartDraw requires no artistic talent or technical expertise: even first-time users can create great-looking patient education flyers, staff education materials, timelines, medical diagrams, floorplans, organizational charts, and more.
The SmartDraw Healthcare Edition works hand-in-hand with leading software products, as well as Microsoft Office®, allowing users to copy and paste directly to and from PowerPoint®, Word®, WordPerfect, and more. In addition, users can print anything from standard sizes to huge posters, and send documents directly to a nearby print shop by taking advantage of our partnership with AlphaGraphics.
