It comes with a unique feature wherein combining two DuoBoards together, users can seamlessly double the collaboration space and develop borderless ideas or choose to work on two tasks at the same time on a single IFP. Combined with the use of EZwrite cloud whiteboard, teammates can work jointly to complete complicated tasks together.
