MatchWare, the developer of the OpenMind mind mapping software program, last week announced the launch of version 2.0 Business Edition. This update incorporates many new and improved features, including:

• The ability to add task information to your maps
• Microsoft Outlook import, export and synchronization of tasks
• A built in GANTT (project management) chart view
• Microsoft Project import and export
• XML import and export (which means that it can read MindManager files, among other things)
• New business templates
• A new OpenMind 2 Business file viewer

I downloaded the trial version and have had a chance to play around with it. It’s quite impressive. I don’t recall what version 1.0 looked like, but clearly MatchWare has aggressively set it sights on the needs of business mapping users with version 2.0!
