"SmartDraw provided us with an easy and relatively affordable way for our staff to implement tools for process development," said Anita Kissinger, Executive Director, Quality and Development, Springfield Public Schools, "Eventually, we hope that thousands of professionals in our school district will use SmartDraw as we continue to deploy a continuous improvement approach."

SmartDraw, the world's most popular business graphics software, is widely used in schools across the globe to create diagrams and charts such as flowcharts, mind maps, project management charts, teaching aids, forms, and more. Unlike other graphics programs that provide you with a blank screen and expect you to draw, with SmartDraw you start with a template that is specifically designed to create the type of illustration you need. You enter the information and SmartDraw does the rest: building the graphic automatically using built-in rules and professional design themes to guarantee polished, presentation-quality results in just a few minutes. It draws for you! And, in the rare case that users need extra help, SmartDraw offers free customer support to all users.

SmartDraw offers a variety of licensing options and programs, including educational pricing. A free trial is available at www.smartdraw.com and includes both online and telephone technical support.
