Palisade announces general availability of mind mapping and diagramming tool, BigPicture for Microsoft Excel

BigPicture now available at the reduced price of £125 (£199RRP) through the end of 2015

London, UK – 13th October 2015 - Palisade Corporation, a leader in decision and risk analysis solutions, today announced the general availability of BigPicture for Microsoft Excel – for the special price of £125 until December 31st. A diagramming, mind mapping and data exploration tool, BigPicture is the only tool of its kind to work seamlessly within Excel. It helps individuals brainstorm complex problems, present and explore large amounts of data with eye-catching topical maps, automatically generate organisational charts from source personnel data and links any map to underlying data sets for live updating.

Strategic planners, HR professionals, project managers, financial planners and marketers, students and professors are all seeing the value in the ability to create dynamic maps to organise ideas either from scratch or from existing data within BigPicture. Unlike other mind mapping software, BigPicture combines the power of visuals and spreadsheets directly in Excel, and any or all of the content in an Excel spreadsheet can be linked to a BigPicture chart or map.

BigPicture’s key features include:

    Flexible mind maps for brainstorming and decision-making
    Translation of spreadsheet data into dynamic topical maps that update whenever source data changes
    Automatically-generated organisational charts from personnel data
    Ability to perform rollup calculations or link to formulas in data maps
    Integration with Palisade’s PrecisionTree as part of the DecisionTools Suite to clarify decision processes

Randy Heffernan, VP of Marketing at Palisade said, “With a long heritage in creating decision making tools for industries across all sectors, BigPicture is a natural fit for our product portfolio. Our expertise in creating applications within the Microsoft Excel environment is core to the value of BigPicture, which uniquely and seamlessly integrates with any Excel-based data. It allows for the instant creation of visually inspiring maps and charts, that aid in gaining valuable insights and modelling the decision making process.” He concluded, “throughout the beta testing period we have worked with our customers, gaining insights from their feedback to create a product that is unique in the world of mind mapping.”

BigPicture is available standalone, or within the latest version of its DecisionTools Suite. BigPicture software is compatible with all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows XP through Windows 10, Excel 2007-2016.
