Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. uses Mindjet® MindManager® to get more innovative

percent more efficient.

then we're really saving time. People can refer back to one map that has all the project ideas,
action items, and related documents. And the maps become agendas for subsequent meetings."

The president of a biotech company uses MindManager to create a virtual consortium of six
universities, two biotech companies and a government research institute. Its goal: To
develop new medical technologies that will improve the response to bio/chem weapons of
mass destruction and other threats to public health.
"We were faced with few resources to perform a Herculean task. The relationships between and
among the members had to be clearly mapped out so that everyone in the consortium - and
potential funding agencies - could clearly understand what we were trying to create and how we
would organize the work. I had tried to do this all with just words. But it was too complex. They
say a picture is worth 1000 words. If that's true, then visual maps are worth 5000 words."

Florida State University disburses about $200 million in financial aid each year. But until
recently the university's computerized system was outdated and unable to quickly
adapt to changes in the financial aid environment. When FSU wanted to overhaul the
system, it turned to Mindjet MindManager to visually map the financial aid process from
beginning to end.
"MindManager allows us to flowchart business processes in an iterative and interactive
fashion. It helps you visually and clearly analyze where your bottlenecks are and
where there is scope for improvement. All of this is possible because you are in an
interactive environment where the processes are mapped out visually."
Rajiv Kaushik,
Director of applications,
FSU IT Department
