Integrating Visio 2007 with Microsoft Technologies

May 11, 2007 By Visio Guy 3 Comments

Visio 2007 IntegrationIn your quest to create a Visio-based application you’re not likely to find yourself stranded on a Visio-based-island. You’ll probably find yourself strolling through a land filled with other software products that need to join you on your journey.

So if your wanderings take you through the towns of Access, Excel, Active Directory, SQL Server, MOM, Exchange, Reporting Services, or SharePoint, then you’ve stopped at the right place to get directions!

The good citizens at Visimation have authored eight — that’s E-I-G-H-T-! — articles to guide you on your path towards integrating Visio with Microsoft technologies…

For ten years, my good friends and associates at Visimation have been one of the premier Visio-expertise companies in the world. They are a jovial bunch that really know what they’re doing when it comes to visualization. As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, they work closely with our lovable Big Brother, and have created thses articles for MSDN.

This fantastic set of articles discusses integration scenarios and possibilities, as well as technical details, samples and how-tos. Without further ado, here are the links to the article!

    An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment.
    I do think that you ought to write more about this subject, it might not be a taboo subject but usually people do
    not discuss these topics. To the next! Many thanks!!
