Customer and Partner References "We are excited about deploying a solution built on Visio 2003 and the .NET Framework because it enables us to take advantage of the power of Visio as a smart client front end for an important line of business application. As a result of this project we expect to streamline our sales process, increase productivity, and enhance overall quality of our solutions. The out-of-the-box capabilities and connectability  in Visio 2003 make it possible to  provide integrated system solutions to our customers in substantially less time and  that are of greater value than with current processes." Jim Cullen Senior Manager Sales Tools and Software Systems Carrier Corporation

Customer and Partner References "The flexibility of the Visio 2003 platform and its ability to leverage .NET web services gives us the power to model complex financial concepts visually and at a high level. For instance, customized Visio shapes representing financial objects, such as a stock option, can communicate with web services to obtain current share prices and market volatility to enhance and update itself. Since Visio is by nature a visual tool, the same interface used by the planner to create the financial model can also be easily shared and understood by customers so they can take better control of their financial planning.” Howard Keziah Chairman and CTO, Impact Technologies Group, Inc
