Key New Features
Bolstering the strong feature set of iGrafx 2003, iGrafx 2003 (Version 9.1) delivers new capabilities to each product in the iGrafx family:
JMP integration for iGrafx Process 2003 for Six Sigma
To complement the Minitab integration already built into iGrafx Process 2003 for Six Sigma, integration with JMP adds new levels of statistical analysis power to this strong Six Sigma process management tool. This integration is particularly significant for those customers who choose JMP as their Six Sigma statistical analysis package.
Oracle support for iGrafx Process Central 2003
iGrafx Process Central 2003 provides enterprise repositories that store, manage, and distribute organizational process knowledge. For example, iGrafx process maps stored within Process Central are directly viewable by any Java-enabled web browser (with proper access rights).
