GoTo product portfolio adds ‘out of the box’
video conferencing solution for simple, no-hassle meetings
Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTXS) today introduced
GoToConference, a business video conferencing package that
transforms any room into a conference room to help teams
collaborate. GoToConference combines in-room hardware with
GoToMeeting video conferencing in a single solution, offering a new
way for teams to instantly conduct both impromptu and scheduled
meetings from the conference room.
Businesses are increasingly incorporating small working spaces
into their offices for team huddles, but with employees
increasingly dispersed in different locations, organizations need a
simple and affordable meeting solution that supports anytime
teamwork, despite geographical barriers. Coupled with the fact that
20-25% of the U.S. workforce is teleworking at some frequency, the
cross-office collaboration that occurs in today’s modern workplace
creates the demand for an easy way to bring distributed teams
together. GoToConference aims to eliminate all the frustrations
commonly associated with setting up, joining and managing meetings
with employees by providing “conferencing in a box” for a seamless
meeting experience.
For companies looking for an all-in-one video conferencing
solution for rooms of up to 10 people, GoToConference provides a
means for collaboration that improves productivity. For team
members located in the conference room, users simply enter a
meeting ID from the GoToConference home screen to initiate a
meeting in a GoToConference-enabled room. Once the meeting has
begun, remote team members can join from any location on the device
of their choice using the GoToMeeting web, desktop or mobile
app.
Compared with the steep costs of purchasing hardware and
software pieces separately, at a fraction of the price
GoToConference includes all the high-quality video and audio
equipment needed to easily start or join GoToMeeting sessions. The
package comes with a Revolabs UC 500 USB audio device, 1080p HD
Logitech C930e webcam, ASUS Chromebox, a wireless keyboard and
mouse, as well as an annual GoToConference subscription. All
devices work together seamlessly, allowing an IT or AV technician
to set up a video conferencing hub in minutes and making it easy to
implement the same solution across all of a company’s meeting
rooms.
