MS Visio Look a Like Diagrams

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software, being a great alternative to MS Visio on Mac, supports import of MS Visio files as well as swim-lane diagrams, flowcharts, project charts, orgcharts, cause-and-effect diagrams, decision tree charts, graphs, schemes, maps, plans and many other diagram types, which all can be created within a short period of time having the solutions available to be downloaded from ConceptDraw STORE.

Let’s imagine you created some network diagram in order to describe the existing network structure. Physical network diagram is known to be used for presenting Telecommunications data (such as cable length) carrying a capacity or telecommunication type, servers with names, IP address (if it’s static), server role as well as domain name, location of network equipment (such as hubs, switches, modems, routers, bridges and printers) and the number of network users. You can always continue improving the way this diagram looks, importing it to ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and so, using the existing tools, which can be found in the so called “solutions” from ConceptDraw STORE. In this way, you can always make it possible to make the already made diagram look so much better, exploring the stencil libraries and picking the great as well as professionally looking design symbols for completing the drawing.

Same about making other drawings. You can make Process and Instrumentation Drawing, Process Flow Diagram, EPC Diagram, Basic Flowchart, TQM Diagram, Cause and Effect Diagram, ER Diagram, Cross-Functional Flowchart, Fault Tree Analysis Diagram, Audit Diagram, Sales Flowchart, Work Flow Diagram, Data Flow Diagram, Accounting Flowcharts, as well as many more other ones, using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software, exporting them to MS Visio, if needed, after.

In order to create diagram in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM you can, first of all, open a new document in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software, select one of the existing libraries from the needed solution, which can be found and so downloaded from ConceptDraw STORE. Then add any needed elements to the diagram by dragging them from the stencil library from the chosen solution to your document page. Add the next object by clicking on its icon from the “RapidDraw arrows” that pop up immediately when you bring the mouse cursor over the chosen object, modifying them any time you need by using the “Action button menu”. Once your diagram is done, you can then save it in the needed format as well as export it for using in the other applications, such as MS Visio.

Process Flowchart: A Step-by-Step Comprehensive Guide →

When trying to figure out the nature of the problems occurring within a project, there are many ways to develop such understanding. One of the most common ways to document processes for further improvement is to draw a process flowchart, which depicts the activities of the process arranged in sequential order — this is business process management. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is business process mapping software with impressive range of productivity features for business process management and classic project management. This business process management software is helpful for many purposes from different payment processes, or manufacturing processes to chemical processes. Business process mapping flowcharts helps clarify the actual workflow of different people engaged in the same process. This samples were made with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM — business process mapping software for flowcharting and used as classic visio alternative because its briefly named "visio for mac" and for windows, this sort of software named the business process management tools. This flowchart diagram shows a process flow of project management. The diagram that is presented here depicts the project life cycle that is basic for the most of project management methods. Breaking a project into phases allows to track it in the proper manner. Through separation on phases, the total workflow of a project is divided into some foreseeable components, thus making it easier to follow the project status. A project life cycle commonly includes: initiation, definition, design, development and implementation phases. Distinguished method to show parallel and interdependent processes, as well as project life cycle relationships. A flowchart diagram is often used as visual guide to project. For instance, it used by marketing project management software for visualizing stages of marketing activities or as project management workflow tools. Created with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM — business process mapping software which is flowcharting visio alternative or shortly its visio for mac, this sort of software platform often named the business process management tools.

Cisco Network Templates →

A network diagram is used to depict the topology of a computer network or, talking more broadly, any telecommunications network in general. In order for a computer network diagram to be understandable, clearly identifiable icons must be used for each network appliance. Cisco network templates, also called Network Topology Icons, is a brand of symbols developed and used by Cisco. Since Cisco Systems is the largest networking company in the world, it's list of networking symbols is widely recognized and exhaustive. The diagram of the ISG network topology diagram illustrates the Cisco Intelligent Services Gateway. Since Cicso company offers service providers a possibility to provide control of state and resources in a broadband network, network architects and engineers need some facilities to create ISG topology diagrams.This Cisco ISG network diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using its solution for Cisco network diagrams. The vector library of this solution comprises over 500 icons of Cisco hardware and accessories. They can be used to design LAN, WAN, ISG and other Cisco equipped network diagrams.
