Nureva Inc., an award-winning collaboration solutions company, announces new features and enhancements to Span Workspace, the company’s cloud-based solution for collaborative teams. This latest update enables users to quickly import and interact with multipage PDF documents in a Span canvas. Span canvases are more easily shared with people inside and outside of an organization with a new guest user feature. New note functionality enables users to control the size of text, add more characters and ink over text in notes. A redesign of the personal tray on the Span app gives users more vertical canvas space for content. Visitors to ISE 2019 in Amsterdam February 5–8 can experience a hands-on demo of the new functionality in Span Workspace on Nureva’s stand 11-B180.
These new features are a direct response to the needs of Span Workspace users who regularly work with note and card-based processes such as lean, agile, design thinking and facilitated business planning. The new features will make it even easier for them to adopt the solution without the need to change their current process. Throughout 2019, Nureva will continue to roll out new functionality and third-party integrations that support digital transformation and deliver process efficiencies and improved team engagement.
“We are continually engaged with our customers as they deepen their use of Span Workspace to digitally transform their core collaborative processes,” said Nancy Knowlton, Nureva’s CEO. “These new features and enhancements are a direct outcome of those interactions and the resulting insights into the business value they receive from our solutions.”
