Visio 2000 Professional Edition is the market leader in IT diagramming software, delivering industry-standard tools for rapidly producing network, database, software, and Web diagrams. Design high-level LAN/WAN network topologies using up-to-date network shapes. Define, store, and report on thousands of network-specific attributes for each shape. Create diagrams of Microsoft Active Directory, Novell Directory Services, and LDAP-based directory structures.

Diagram proposed database structures. Or, reverse-engineer existing databases from IBM, Informix, Microsoft, Oracle, and others to visualize those systems to code-level detail, displaying views, check clauses, triggers, and stored procedures. Also reverse engineer projects from Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual J++ to produce UML 1.2 class diagrams. Automatically map Web sites and discover broken links through support for Java, ASP, and HTML tags. Take advantage of enhanced layout options, such as collapsible branches, to clearly communicate your Web architecture. Produce advanced data flow diagrams using automated tools to define process details.

Visio 2000 Professional Edition has been re-designed to provide a more streamlined work environment and to support diagrams with thousands of nodes (networks), entities (databases), and classes (software). Drop diagrams into Microsoft Office documents for widespread distribution. Or publish your diagrams as Web pages in GIF, JPEG, PNG, or VML format.
