Visio is a program that falls under the Microsoft Office Suite of products. It is used for many things that utilize layouts, diagrams, and charts. The graphics that are used in Visio are standard images utilized by flowcharts, decision diagrams, playbooks, and even network diagraming. It even has enough diagrams to make planning a room layout for a conference accurate and simple. Microsoft purchased the Visio program from Visio Corporation (known earlier as the Shapeware Corporation) in 2000 and immediately began incorporating it into the Microsoft Office Suite of products.
