Why people use Organizational Chart Software...

(By using OrgChart Pro, you may never need to create charts again)

Not everybody has to create organization charts, but those that do find the task tedious and never-ending. No sooner is the chart created, than the organization changes, someone new arrives, an employee leaves or is promoted – making the chart immediately obsolete. Organizational charting software drastically shortens the chart creation and update process so that charts can me more easily ad accurately maintained. That’s one view, but maybe it’s not the only reason.

A recent survey by OfficeWork Software asked people their reasons for using organizational charting software.
