1. Free Add-Ins for Microsoft Office 365 Enhance Collaborative, Cross-Platform Diagramming Tool
“Lucidchart’s Add-ins for Office 365 enable individuals, SMBs, and enterprises to more easily create, share, and publish diagrams and other visuals into their Office 365 documents. Doing so saves users time and fosters faster, clearer communication of ideas.” – Karl Sun, CEO, Lucid Software
SITUATION
Visual information is processed 60,000 times faster than text, yet people often choose text to share complex information in Microsoft Office 365. Word and PowerPoint files can become word walls, and Excel files can become webs of complicated formulas. Most tools for creating diagrams, wireframes, mind maps and other visuals are not integrated into everyday products. Consequently, they end up out of use for all but a few employees.
