Creating organisational charts is a complicated business without the right software to make things easier.

OrgPlus Professional from Human Concepts is an extremely comprehensive software tool, ideal for ordering your thoughts and displaying data in a way that is easily understood.

A straightforward-looking Windows XP-style interface belies the complexity of the package, which allows a user to create and distribute organisational charts across an network.

It can create charts that can yourself be linked to other charts, web pages or Word documents.

Although OrgPlus is so versatile, it does have a couple of drawbacks.

It was a monster to install, due to its security mechanism that demands a user password before the application will come alive.

My computer network is behind a powerful firewall so OrgPlus was unable to send out registration data by the web or allow me to receive password details.

Fortunately, the technical support is excellent and my problem was sorted out in a matter of minutes.

The other drawback is it is so big. I used it for several hours before deciding I simply couldnt try all the features or experiment with all the options.

Those options I did try worked exactly the way they were described.

The functioning was excellent and reading the online help section will see you through most confusions.
