As most of you already know, Achaeus is venturing down the path of internet marketing to reach a wider audience to help SME business. My job here at Achaeus is to setup and implement the technology behind automating this process.
Gail and I are both very particular when it comes down to designing processes and one of the ways we do this is through flow charting. Typically we have used just word or excel to do this, (even though we could have used other software) purely because it was simple and everyone could open the document. I have just found some software that is both intuitive, simple and relatively cheap.
We use Mac’s here in the office and I stumbled across from great flow charting software called omnigraffle.
I downloaded and installed the trial, and after only a few moments, I knew I was on a winner. It was extremely simple, quick and very powerful. Gone are the days of boxes not lining up, or manually having to join the arrows between boxes. Omnigraffle is so intuitive that it seems like it reads your mind.
I was working on the flow chart for our new site pitchingtoinvestors.com and it was faily detailed. Using omnigraffle made the process so easy, it allowed me to spend more time designing and less time “fudging” if you know what I mean. It intuitively predicts what space size you want between gaps by cross referencing with any other gap to see if you want that size. It automatically lines up, snaps, scales depending on what shapes you put on the screen.
I highly recommend this software, check out their website here.
