Avantages

The overall performance of Visio is remarkable. I have used Powerpoint since I was a student but Visio redefined visual presentation for me. Using the two platforms together in teaching and collaborating would be a great choice and efficient in sharing important data and analysis. Especially that most of the trainings are done virtually even in the office you need to accomplish tasks via video conferencing rather than really staying in conference rooms because of safety measures against COVID. So making sure you share your knowledge in as detailed as you can ever be will be helpful in determining the performance of the team on the production floor.

Although remarkable an area of improvement that I could suggest would be to have it accessible on power point as an extension tool. Since they are under the same company which is Microsoft, Visio would be a revolutionary partner especially for workers and students who used power point for the longest time running.
