Last summer we introduced SmartDraw VP, the world's first visual processorTM. And now, we've added even more great features that can help you communicate better, be more productive, and work smarter. This is our third update since the initial launch!
We call SmartDraw VP a visual processor because anyone can use it every day to create professional-quality visuals just as easily as you use a word processor to create automatically formatted written documents.

Here's what others are saying about the latest release of SmartDraw VP:
IT Reviews
"SmartDraw VP goes a long way towards its stated aim of making the creation of graphics as easy as creating a written document in a word processor. It gives little excuse for dull, word-heavy reports or presentations. Perhaps not a tool for those with a lot of design experience, but most of us don't have this."
eWeek
"Being able to build slides in SmartDraw was significantly easier (and creating the art elements was much more simple) than the same process using PowerPoint."
CNET
"SmartDraw offers a plethora of diagram templates and art elements that eliminate the need to start from scratch... As a fast illustration or business tool...we think this program functions extraordinarily well."
If you don't own VP, you can either buy SmartDraw or upgrade to the latest version.
