Micrografx

Micrografx was a pioneering software company that developed graphics and business process management (BPM) solutions widely utilized within the healthcare and life sciences sectors. Founded in 1982, the company produced influential tools such as ABC FlowCharter and Micrografx Designer, which became essential for pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers to map clinical workflows and ensure compliance with FDA and ISO regulatory standards. The company's BPM division eventually evolved into the independent brand iGrafx, which continues to provide specialized process optimization and risk management software to highly regulated industries. Micrografx was acquired by Corel Corporation in 2001, marking the conclusion of its operations as an independent entity.
