After much anticipation, Buzan Online has released Version 3 of iMindMap™, the only official Mind Mapping
software endorsed by Tony Buzan, the inventor of Mind Maps. The Buzan Online Team have been extremely busy
developing a wealth of new features and tools as well as a new look and feel, concluding in Version 3. The Team
have spent the summer testing the software intensively, involving a dedicated beta testing group consisting of a
wide range of users across the globe. Everyone’s hard work has paid off and proved a great success, as Version 3’s
three Editions – Elements, Professional and Ultimate – are now for sale on www.imindmap.com.
All three new Editions of iMindMap™ deliver a whole new Mind Mapping experience. The look and feel of the program has
been improved with a new, more user-friendly and intuitive interface with more white space, shortcut keys and less
visual clutter. The functionality of the software is improved with reduced memory requirement by up to 30%, and
processing speeds of up to 400% faster. iMindMap™ Version 3 will also make Mind Maps even more customisable with Auto
Layout, a new sketch tool, focus in and out capabilities, multiline text, improved highlight clouds, screen capture tool,
improved printing tools and image library, import tools, and branch sorting capabilities.
The new Editions of iMindMap™ are designed to take different Mind Mapping needs into consideration. For Mind Mappers
who want a basic and economical program that allows them to simply Mind Map to organise ideas, the Elements Edition is
ideal.
iMindMap™’s Professional Edition is created for businesses and organisations who want a creative space to think and
to put their Mind Maps on display. As well as including all the features of iMindMap™ Elements, the Professional edition
has an assortment of new features that will allow Mind Mappers to use their Mind Maps for crisp and impressive presentations.
The Ultimate edition of iMindMap™ truly is the ultimate Mind Mapping experience. The most impressive feature of
iMindMap™ Ultimate is its fully integrated project management system – where the user can Mind Map creatively to scope
projects then add tasks, dates, milestones, durations, etc. which can be viewed in Gantt charts within iMindMap™ as well
as exporting them to Microsoft Project and Excel. This tool is ideal for business proposals, brainstorming, scheduling,
development and event planning.
The success of iMindMap Version 3’s launch could not have been possible were it not for the fantastic team of beta
testers who took the time to test the software and provide Buzan Online with valuable feedback. Their comments,
suggestions, ideas and praises have significantly contributed to V3 being one of the best Mind Mapping tools currently
on the market. Buzan Online would like to give their warmest thanks and appreciation to the beta testers and hope they
had as much fun testing the software as the developers had creating it!
