HumanConcepts Announces OrgPlus Express, Free Organizational Charting for Microsoft Office Users

Departments and Smaller Organizations Create and Standardize Org Charts Quickly and Easily

Sausalito, CA, June 27, 2005 - HumanConcepts, developer of OrgPlus, the industry standard software for organizational charting, today announced the introduction of OrgPlus Express, a free organizational charting product designed for creating org charts quickly and easily. Intended for organizations and departments with fewer than 30 employees, OrgPlus Express can be downloaded free of charge at www.download.com and www.orgplusexpress.com.

OrgPlus technology, which was included in previous versions of Microsoft Office as Microsoft Organization Chart 2.0, is selected by millions of users worldwide and provides intelligent tools specifically for creating professional-looking organizational charts fast.

HumanConcepts developed OrgPlus Express to allow both departments within larger organizations and smaller organizations to benefit from the power and simplicity of OrgPlus at no charge. Unlike PowerPoint and Visio, OrgPlus Express is designed exclusively for organizational charting and allows users to easily create and manage charts from within all popular Microsoft Office applications including Word, Visio, Excel and PowerPoint.

"We released OrgPlus Express in response to demand from Microsoft Office users who needed their original MS OrgChart charting tool back," explained Martin Sacks, CEO of HumanConcepts. "OrgPlus Express is a great upgrade to all Microsoft Office users who have become familiar with the functionality and interface of OrgPlus, which was included in earlier versions of Office. OrgPlus Express users can be assured that they can move up to more advanced OrgPlus charting solutions as their needs mature without having to rework any previously created charts."
