Citrix GoToMeeting and Citrix GoToWebinar Now Integrate VoIP, Phone, and Web Conferencing for Mac and PC
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Free VoIP and audio conferencing for both Mac and PC are now integrated to deliver a seamless, high-quality experience with the newest releases of Citrix(R) GoToMeeting(R) and Citrix(R) GoToWebinar(TM) from Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS). True one-click meetings are now possible with this new combination of VoIP, phone and web conferencing for small-group online meetings and large-group Web events.
"The new VoIP capability gives us the opportunity to significantly scale up the business," said John Lane, founder and owner of TaxSaleLists.com LLC. "Having both VoIP and phone connectivity options will encourage more attendees at our weekly marketing seminars, and now we can handle up to a thousand people. With this new product, we are free to ramp up our promotional efforts and really make an impact on the bottom line."
"With collaboration products, ease of use is critical, especially for SMBs," said Mark Levitt, vice president for collaborative computing at research firm IDC. "Citrix Online's one-click access to VoIP and traditional phone connections for both PC and Mac users is designed to give growing businesses one easy-to-use interface for a rich combination of popular tools that are easy to manage and afford."
For small groups with up to 25 attendees, GoToMeeting makes it easy to meet, present information, demonstrate products and provide training online, allowing users to do more and travel less. For online events with up to 1,000 attendees, GoToWebinar makes communication with prospects, employees, partners and customers easier and more efficient than any event product available today.
Now, Mac users can conduct and attend planned or impromptu online events just as easily as PC users.
"Our goal at Citrix Online has always been to develop the simplest and easiest-to-use Web solutions, which is extremely important to our SMB customers," said Elizabeth Cholawsky, vice president, products and services for Citrix Online. "With these newest releases of GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar, every feature is based on extensive user feedback, from full Macintosh access to this new total audio solution. Used effectively, these technologies can change not only the operating style but also the business economics of companies everywhere."
"There's a sizable market in the SMB community for fully integrated Web conferencing solutions that offer one-click meetings with free VoIP capabilities, and that's what these tools from Citrix Online offer," said Roopam Jain, principal analyst with Frost & Sullivan North America Information & Communications Technologies Practice. "With enhanced features, free VoIP, and user-friendly capabilities, Citrix Online is further raising the bar. These enhancements are a huge step in the Web conferencing market and will find a very receptive audience in the SMB community."
