InVision Services to Shutdown End of 2024
On January 4th, 2024, New York-based start-up InVisionApp, Inc. CEO Michael Shenkman posted to the InVision community announcing the discontinuation of InVision’s design collaboration services. Miro acquired the freehand visual collaboration product in early fall 2023; thus, InVision services are set to end on December 31, 2024.
But what exactly is Miro? Miro is a visual workspace for innovation that enables distributed teams of any size to build the next big thing. The platform's infinite canvas enables teams to lead engaging workshops and meetings, design products, brainstorm ideas, and more. Today, 7 out of the 10 most innovative companies* use Miro to increase the speed and impact of innovation within their organizations.
Miro has become the standard for collaborative innovation by delivering an enterprise-grade platform with core capabilities purpose-built for teams that bring new products and services to market daily.
Jeff Chow, chief product and technology officer at Miro, also said it’s honouring users’ Freehand subscriptions by allowing them to use Miro at no extra cost. “We’ll also provide data migration services so that you can continue the work you started on Freehand in Miro.”
InVision users are encouraged to switch to another tool for new projects as quickly as possible and export anything they want to keep, as all documents, including prototypes, Freehands, boards, and other assets, will be deleted shortly after the shutdown date of 31 December 2024.
“We’re so grateful to all of you who invested time and energy into making InVision the incredible company it’s grown to be. Together, we reimagined how designers collaborate, raised the importance of design thinking, and, in the process, helped revolutionize the design industry,” said Shenkman.
“We close this chapter with heartfelt gratitude and with the comfort that the state of the design industry is stronger than ever, leaving the InVision community in good hands.”
