Description

A native Windows COM add-in designed for technical teams, systems analysts, and enterprise IT environments requiring automated process mapping inside desktop Excel without third-party SaaS cloud dependencies. Local Graph Engine: Implements Sugiyama layered graph drawing and Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) layout algorithms on a native .NET stack (C#, VB.NET, WPF) to calculate node coordinates and route connector paths without shape overlap. Zero External Cloud Dependencies: All processing and rendering execute 100% locally within the desktop Excel process space. Sensitive operational workflows, process steps, and business logic remain strictly on the local endpoint. Native Office Object Model: Renders output using standard Microsoft Office shape objects. Generated .xlsx workbooks remain fully editable, shareable, and viewable across Word, PowerPoint, and Excel without requiring recipients to install the add-in. Dynamic Table Synchronization: Modifying step text, step IDs, or conditional routing in the source table instantly recalculates the visual layout across four cardinal directions (Top-to-Bottom, Bottom-to-Top, Left-to-Right, Right-to-Left). Enterprise IT Governance: Distributed via the Microsoft Store and Microsoft Commercial Marketplace, supporting tenant-wide deployment, license management, and policy compliance through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
