SmartDraw.com - Corporate Profile
SmartDraw.com corporate headquarters in San Diego, CA
SmartDraw.com is the creator of SmartDraw, software that helps companies work smarter by communicating visually.
Everyone understands that "a picture is worth a thousand words," whether it's a flowchart to explain a business process, a Gantt chart to show a project schedule, an organizational chart, or a map to the emergency exit.
Studies show that communicating with both words and pictures is up to six times more effective than words alone. Yet less than 2% of business communication includes a visual. Why? Because, until now, creating a professional-quality visual has been just too hard, and too time-consuming. SmartDraw solves this problem.
SmartDraw is unique in three key ways:
- It's automated. SmartDraw is the only software that makes it possible for anyone to create presentation-quality visuals in minutes. Instead of forcing you to draw visuals manually, it draws for you, ensuring a professional result every time.
- It's comprehensive. SmartDraw is the only software that allows you to create every kind of visual—more than 70 different types—including flowcharts, timelines, org charts, mind maps, floor plans, marketing charts and more.
- It's integrated. SmartDraw works seamlessly with Microsoft Office®. One click is all it takes to transfer your visual to Word or PowerPoint. Easily chart data from Excel. Exchange project management data with Project users. Even build an entire PowerPoint presentation with a single click.
SmartDraw's web site serves as a valuable resource to professionals in every industry with in-depth information on how to create and use every type of visual, as well as insightful articles on how to use visual communication to boost profits and increase productivity company wide.
Each year more than two million people install and use SmartDraw.
