Canvas GFX launches remote learning subscription program for education

/

Canvas GFX, a venerable document creation program for business-to-business applications, has announced the launch of Canvas Unlimited for Universities. Like the name says, it is an unlimited license meaning that participants have access to the full Canvas portfolio, which includes Canvas X, Canvas X3, Canvas X GEO, and Canvas X Draw for macOS. Canvas GFX is making it available to universities for a low-cost annual subscription.

Canvas software is already being used at Baylor University, Boston College, Harvard, and Yale in the US and also internationally. While we’re on the topic of customers, Canvas is also being used by 3M, Boeing, Chevron, Honeywell, General Dynamics, NASA, United Airlines, and Raytheon to some of the companies that have been working with Canvas GFX.

Like so many companies, Canvas GFX has started the program in response to the coronavirus as a way to offer support to universities and faculty who are working remotely, but it’s also a chance for Canvas to relaunch itself, which the company has been doing over 2020.

It aims to provide sellers with the right intel at the right time to create good customer experiences and improve sell-through. “Simon Turner is our founder,” Richard Smith, EMEA regional director at Myagi explains. “He was a distributor of products for several brands, and one of the responsibilities he had was training store staff. The consistent problem that he had within this business was selling a technical product or indeed a product that was an add on sale – something that people didn’t necessarily come into the store looking for.
