Business Wire
Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS),
today announced the availability of integrated toll-free audio for
its Citrix® GoToTraining® service. The new audio feature extends
the audio options available with the easy and affordable online
training solution, giving users greater flexibility and cost
savings potential. With toll-free, toll, and Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) audio services now offered together in one
solution, trainers can determine the most effective audio pricing
to reduce costs, and extend these savings to participants to
increase attendance.
“This announcement is an important differentiator for
GoToTraining since cost and audio flexibility are important
considerations for almost every learning organization,” said David
Mallon, principal analyst at Bersin & Associates, a leading
research firm dedicated to enterprise learning and talent
management. “In addition to the attractive cost structure,
GoToTraining’s integrated audio options will facilitate a flexible
means of attendance. Citrix Online has a solid foothold in
training; this announcement should help it retain and attract
customers in a highly volatile space.”
Citrix Online customer InSync Training evaluated several audio
and visual training platforms and found the best quality and value
in GoToTraining’s integrated audio solution. The global
professional training company provides instructional development,
content, delivery services and consultation for real-time online
training.
InSync European Managing Director David Smith explained, “One of
the biggest downsides in many online training platforms is that the
audio and visual communication channels are typically separate
components. You often need an independent telephony provider to
deliver a separate telephone bridge, or if you find a provider that
integrates this, chances are the voice over IP option isn’t high
quality or the cost per minute runs too high.”
According to Smith, GoToTraining offers compelling value for
trainers and attendees, “Citrix Online’s GoToTraining provides a
solution with an attractive cost for the telephony side of
delivering training online, bundling audio with a high quality
voice over IP option and requiring no additional set up. With its
new toll-free audio feature, trainers now have a very easy,
flexible cost-saving option for delivering online training.”
Additional features and benefits include:
- Seamless recording and playback
of audio and content for all sessions in one click
- Audio and web controls combined
in one place, with integrated muting controls
- Toll-free numbers automatically
shown in training communications (registration emails to attendees;
control panel)
- Predictable monthly or quarterly
pricing with per minute rates
Elizabeth Cholawsky, vice president of products and client
services, Citrix Online, said, “Simplicity and affordability
continue to drive us to deliver the most fully functioning yet
easiest to use online training product in the market. Now we’ve
incorporated into GoToTraining the same high quality,
toll-free, toll and VoIP audio conferencing that has consistently
delighted our GoToMeeting users. This package of powerful tools
helps our training customers drive attendance, extend reach and
stay one step ahead of their competition.”
With today’s announcement, Citrix Online now provides integrated
toll-free audio for its entire collaboration product suite,
including GoToMeeting® and GoToWebinar®.
