Integration between Visio, Web and Excel.

[rodsoares101]

I know that is possible to create a web page with visio and I know you can integrate visio and excel, but is there a way to integrate the three of them? Example, a workflow with KPI (key process indicator) that is represented with a data graphic, via web the user request an update, the excel calculates the new KPI numbers, the visio updates the data graphic and uploads to the web page automatically? Sounds like a hard one, but I've seen visio do things beyond I ever thought possible. So anyone have any suggestions?

Two of the secret ingredients to your recipe of success are sharepoint (MOSS), and excel services. These are web host located to do the work of updating your KPI's and are currently available. The next ingredient (as yet undelivered, but it has been announced) is visio services. Supposedly coming out in vNext. Anytime somebody says it happens automatically, there is probably code associated, the question is "did the vendor write it, or did the user write it".
Stay tuned,
