Visio 2003 is a diagramming
program that can help you create business and technical diagrams
that document and organize complex ideas, processes, and
systems. Diagrams created in Visio 2003 enable you to visualize

Visio 2003 provides updated Network templates and shapes. Basic
Network drawings can be used in presentations, proposals, and
conceptual layouts. Meanwhile, Detailed Network drawings can be
used for creating more complex, elaborate diagrams, including
actual network configurations. The new Rack Diagram drawing
provides rack and cabinet shapes, as well as rack component and
Room shapes, for drawing accurate representations of network
server room configurations. Rack components snap to
industry-specific sizes, and snap to the rack and cabinet shapes
for easy creation of rack diagrams. The three directory services
templates can be used to design new directories, create
alternative designs for existing directories, or create plans
for updating or migrating a current network's directory service.
