How to Draw a Hierarchical Organizational Chart with ConceptDraw PRO

There are a number of different organisational structures. The most appropriate structure will depend on the size of the business and the type of business. A hierarchical organizational structure is one of the most typical organizational structure. This structure can be represented as a pyramid, with a single entity in authority at the top, with subsequent levels of power beneath them. Each member of the pyramid reports only to their direct subordinates or superiors, limiting the amount of communication overhead, which can be seen both as an asset or a limitation. It is easy to see where a hierarchical structure would be an effective solution; companies that have offices based in disparate locations, a business that focuses on diversified markets, any organization with need for multiple levels of middle management. You can easily create a clear hierarchical organizational chart using ConceptDraw solution that contains templates of the 25 Typical Orgcharts.
The vector stencils library "Organizational chart" contains 17 symbols for drawing organizational charts using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"An organizational chart (often called organization chart, org chart, organigram(me), or organogram(me)) is a diagram that shows the structure of an organization and the relationships and relative ranks of its parts and positions/ jobs. The term is also used for similar diagrams, for example ones showing the different elements of a field of knowledge or a group of languages." [Organizational chart. Wikipedia]

"By using the Active Directory® Domain Services (AD DS) server role, you can create a scalable, secure, and manageable infrastructure for user and resource management, and you can provide support for directory-enabled applications, such as Microsoft® Exchange Server. ...
AD DS provides a distributed database that stores and manages information about network resources and application-specific data from directory-enabled applications. Administrators can use AD DS to organize elements of a network, such as users, computers, and other devices, into a hierarchical containment structure. The hierarchical containment structure includes the Active Directory forest, domains in the forest, and organizational units (OUs) in each domain. A server that is running AD DS is called a domain controller." [technet.microsoft.com/ en-us/ library/ 9a5cba91-7153-4265-adda-c70df2321982]

How to Draw a Matrix Organizational Chart with ConceptDraw PRO

There are a number of moments which are influenced on how the organizational structure of a certain business needs to be, how complex, and which type it should keep. The matrix organizational structure is atypical because it brings together employees and managers from different departments to work toward accomplishing a goal. This structure is commonly found in businesses that have more than one line of reportage. For instance, a company might contain an engineering department with engineering managers who workers report to. However, these workers might also have to liaise with different product or project managers depending on current tasks. Some form of matrix organization is found in most large-scale modern businesses. It is one of the most complicated reporting structures. You can easily build a clear matrix organizational chart in ConceptDraw PRO using templates from ConceptDraw Solution Park.
"Microsoft Windows 2000 Server introduces Active Directory to replace domain functionality. Active Directory will continue to get the job done, but in a much more efficient way. Active Directory can be replicated between multiple domain controllers, so no single system is critical. In this way, the crucial data stored within Active Directory is both redundant and load-balanced.
A directory, in the most generic sense, is a comprehensive listing of objects. A phone book is a type of directory that stores information about people, businesses, and government organizations. Phone books typically record names, addresses, and phone numbers. Active Directory is similar to a phone book in several ways, and it is far more flexible. Active Directory will store information about organizations, sites, systems, users, shares, and just about any other network object that you can imagine. Not all objects are as similar to each other as those stored in the phone book, so Active Directory includes the ability to record different types of information about different objects."
