Capture What You Think, Do What You Plan
For a project manager, the further along a project is, the more invested one becomes in the tools used to keep track of, present, and ultimately complete projects. If the tools are robust and flexible, it is easy to become extremely loyal to a particular project-management environment. The acclimation to a particular tool is, undoubtedly, a boon when working with that particular tool. Reliance on a specific set of tools can be a hindrance, however, as those tools continue to age towards obsolescence.
Below are some of the common reasons that our customers site as reason to adopt
-
No Subscription Renewal: Some business productivity software is sold with an annual cost. A
ConceptDraw MINDMAP license gives ownership of the product for the life of the product. -
Low Upgrade Costs: When upgrades are released, they aren’t always free.
ConceptDraw MINDMAP is updated with new features and templates several times per year, only charging for an upgrade when there are major changes being implemented. We do not have annual contracts to leverage money from our users, those who are interested can buy maintenance contracts that run from major version to major version. All in the interests of providing better service at a lower cost. - Operating System Migration: While some productivity software exists on both Mac and Windows machines, none have been developed for both, concurrently, for the entire existence of the product. While some companies will port their software into a second environment, for release, most developers only support a single platform. Some mind-mapping software tools have as many as two generations between their Mac and Windows versions, resulting in a huge disparity in function across the two platforms ConceptDraw MINDMAP has been developed for two separate platforms throughout its existence, meaning that the software is optimized for whichever platform you choose. Files made with either version of the software will work well with other ConceptDraw products, as well; and since one license allows a concurrent Mac and Windows installation, ConceptDraw can truly be called a productivity environment.
- Tools can be Inadequate for Many Needs: Mind maps are organizational tools. They can be used to complement project management as well as any other industry niche. They can be for brainstorming, outlining, taking notes, and making detailed relationship maps. CS Odessa recognizes this, and we develop our tools to interoperate with each other in unique and powerful ways.

When describing any computer network, we imagine a set of devices and nodes, arranged in some way. Talking about network structures, we should distinguish physical and logical network topologies, as physical topology is about devices location and logical topology illustrates data flow. In the same time, they do not have to match, and some devices, such as repeaters, may have a physical star layout, but a bus logical topology.
There are two main types of computer network topologies: Physical topology that show the physical organization of a network - equipment and types of connections. Star network topology involves a set of devices that is connected to a single hub (router). Ring network topology means that, devices connected according this topology have two connections, connecting with nearby devices to make a loop. Bus network topology is the topology presented at the current diagram. It is similar to a ring topology. The difference is that data moves up and down a linear connection, copying itself where network equipment works as bus-stations along the way. This network topology can be used for small network, or when adding an extra device into a network.
