Citrix Online Adds Integrated Toll-Free Audio to GoToMeeting Web Conferencing Product


Nov 20, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc., added integrated toll-free audio services for GoToMeeting Corporate and GoToWebinar users.

With this addition, the company said participants now have a range of audio options to choose from, including integrated toll-free, a toll-based number, or Voice over IP (VoIP) for audio over the Internet.

"Our annual survey of North American users of conferencing services reveals that the overwhelming majority (89.1 percent) believe there is personal value in an integrated audio and Web conferencing service vs. two independent providers," said Andy Nilssen, senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research. "The simplicity of being able to initiate a single conference with audio and Web capabilities combined with the ability to visually present audio control elevates the elegance of the entire virtual meeting experience. This will no doubt increase the appeal of Citrix Online's portfolio among companies of all sizes." "GoToMeeting has completely changed the way we meet with customers--we collaborate extensively at a moment's notice and with very little cost, as a result it's become the standard meeting platform throughout our company," said Christine Pullin, marketing manager at Electronic Commerce, Inc. "With integrated toll-free audio, we've now enhanced the meeting experience for our customers giving them attractive audio options and mutually beneficial cost savings." "With the addition of our innovative toll-free audio option, our customers have an unbeatable combination of the simplest, most comprehensive and affordable audio service in the industry," said Elizabeth Cholawsky, vice president of products and client services at Citrix Online. "Our initial beta customers have been especially pleased with the flexible and predictable pricing plans. We're confident that this expanded audio platform will drive even greater adoption of GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar."
