BusinessOptix versus Visio
It can be difficult to choose a business process transformation system. There are plenty available, with similar features and capabilities. So, to help you, we thought we’d run a quick comparison of some key providers.
The facts: capability comparison*
Visio: developed by Microsoft, Visio is a Windows-based diagramming software program. You can create flowcharts, organisational charts, network diagrams and other assets to help you understand your business processes better.

The benefits: three reasons why BusinessOptix is better
1. You can apply as much or as little functionality as you need
BusinessOptix’s extensive range of capabilities means it covers all the essential ingredients of a business transformation project. This is an end-to-end toolkit. So, you can easily integrate it into existing systems to power your entire transformation, or only part of it. It’s up to you.
2. It’s a one-stop shop, saving you time
You don’t need any add-ins to benefit from its functionality. For example, you can create flowcharts within the system rather than attaching a plug-in. And you can import existing charts or models to start the project off, rather than regenerating your original data.
3. It’s easy for non-technical users to understand
You don’t have to be experienced in process mapping or business analysis to use BusinessOptix. Although it’s fine if you are; you’ll benefit even more from the system! For instance, to run process discovery, BusinessOptix lets you issue surveys to each member of your team. Then they fill them in, and the system generates a process diagram which you can modify. You can find out more about that feature here.
