OrgPlus Professional is the perfect application for companies who want to analyze and visualize a workforce of 100 or several thousand employees. This industry-leading solution sets the standard for organizational charting.

With OrgPlus Professional, you can:

Create Data-Rich Org Charts Automatically
OrgPlus automatically imports employee information from virtually any source—including HR and ERP systems, ODBC, SQL Server, LDAP and Active Directory—and creates your org charts based on the data. Refine the look and feel of your charts to reflect your brand identity by using pre-built design templates and applying multiple effects.

Update Charts with One Click
Generate org charts that reflect up-to-date employee information by connecting OrgPlus to your HR system—such as SAP, Oracle, and Kronos—or simply import data manually from any source. One-click data refresh eliminates the need to re-import data as it changes in your database; or you can schedule routine data refreshes in advance.

Share Charts Across Your Organization
Publish entire charts—not just images of charts—directly on a corporate intranet or shared network to enable collaboration between groups. And share your charts by publishing them in their entirety to MS Word, PowerPoint or Adobe PDF and allowing others to view, search, and print or save them.

Analyze and Understand Your Workforce
Use built-in spreadsheet functions and dynamic reporting capabilities to turn OrgPlus Professional into a decision-making tool for your company. Build what-if business scenarios and export the data to Excel for further analysis or for inclusion in business plans and budgets.
