OrgChart Professional 4 - Golden Triangle PC Club
By Dale Farris,
Reviews Coordinator - Golden Triangle PC Club
January 2007
General Overview
OrgChart Pro 4 is a feature-rich, highly specialized organizational charting program that has been around for many years. In this newest version, OrgChart Pro 4 continues to excel in its simplicity of use and built-in control over the specialized process of creating charts of organizational structure. With this software program, the user does not have to draw anything, but instead, uses the already built-in controlled drawing features that define OrgChart Pro 4. This allows the user to focus on entering the necessary information about the people and their titles in the particular company. In effect, you are using a highly specialized program designed for the specialized output of an organizational chart.
Compared to other specialized organizational chart programs, as well as broader focused drawing programs that also allow you to create organizational charts, OrgChart 4 Professional offers tons of super features at a very reasonable price. This latest version is packed with all the organizational charting features you could ever need, including a soon to be released feature that will allow you to create organizational charts that show co-managers, or persons who have more than one supervisor. This clever new tool recognizes this reality that exists in most organizations and should be available in the expected 4.1 update (available by early February 2007) that will further establish the value of this program.
With such a highly specialized targeted use, one would surmise that the need to draw organizational charts must be a very important concern in business and other organizations, which is true. While other drawing programs (e.g., Microsoft's Visio) will allow a user to perform this function along with other drawing tasks, OrgChart Pro 4 is singularly focused to support this task. Because of this specialized effort, OrgChart Pro 4 makes completing this task much easier to learn and complete than in these other programs.
OrgChart 4 Pro will save you tremendous amounts of time and reduce keystrokes with the Import/Export/Linking features. By combining professional precision design capabilities with the power of the program's full-featured database technologies, OrgChart 4 Pro automatically produces and manages high-impact organizational charts. These charts are ready for immediate publication and distribution to Microsoft Office documents and programs, offline, or on the Web.
You can create dynamic organization charts using existing data from Excel, Outlook, and most database sources. Use your current data to generate a professional organizational chart, or you can create the chart using the drag-and-drop tools. Insert names, titles, contact information, and any other desired information in each box. Boxes will automatically shrink or expand to fit the text.
Integrated Data Management
Import data from the most popular database sources, including Excel, Outlook, XML, LDAP, and many more. Quickly produce phone lists, salary tables, head count rollups, directories, and profiles for your company or team. Perform addition and roll-up functions for salary, budget, headcount, and any other numeric values. Show or hide sensitive data at any time. With OrgChart 4 Pro you can perform scenario planning to assess the impact of organizational alternatives. Analyze costs and skill sets necessary to staff the organization. Easily add links to other files that contain employee-related information, including budgets, employee resumes, or mission statements. Search and sort data within charts to locate information fast. The rich integration of graphics and data allow endless custom variation, to enter and track such information as names, title, and phone, roles and responsibilities, computer, furniture, and employee assets, employee appraisals, geographic locations, and skills.
Automate Your Workforce Management (Create Professional Charts)
Create a visual representation of your company and use it to manage your strategic goals, employee documents, budgets and employee directories. OrgChart enables roll up calculations for head counts, salary budgets, and various data reporting. Photos, employee documents, and critical employee contact information can be attached to each employee. In addition, the program supports various publishing options, including password protection for confidential information, and it will allow you to share your charts with the entire company.
Use in Organizational Change Management
Organizational charts are a rich and concise manner in which to visualize and communicate organizational structure and other employee and enterprise information. Organizational Change Management software provides an essential tool for the dynamic organization to plan for and communicate changes.
OrgChart Pro 4 is a specialized tool for creating, visualizing, communicating and manipulating hierarchical information found in the structures of any organization. With OrgChart Pro 4, you have the software you need to create and manage your ongoing changes to your particular organizational charts.
Human resource groups or information technology teams can use OrgChart Pro 4 to create charts automatically from HR databases, or other organizational data sources, and distribute these charts to management. This process is totally automated using OrgChart Pro 4.
Target Customers
OrgChart Pro 4 is targeted for any organization that needs to develop and distribute professional charts of organizational structure. The most likely targeted group that would work with the program is the Human Resource department, where the updates to the comings and goings of staff in the organization are usually always first known.
Recommendation
I highly recommend OrgChart Pro 4 for these uses, as well as in organizations already committed to other drawing programs, such as Visio, for support of their organizational charting needs.
