Supporting Quotes
- “Today’s workforce wants the ease and
flexibility to work wherever it’s most optimal. Regardless of where
people choose to work, this transition to mobility requires secure,
high-performing and reliable technology to help them be effective
and productive. It’s our company’s mission to provide the best
tools to meet our customers’ flexible work needs and making mobile
support available across products and devices is a priority
focus.”– Lisa Reeves, vice president and general manager of Access
and Cloud, Citrix Online.
- “Despite the number of competitive
offerings that have come into the remote access services space over
the last several years, Our Worldwide Remote Access Services
Software 2010 to 2014 Forecast and 2009 Vendor Shares report shows
that Citrix Online’s GoToMyPC has once again been able to maintain
its significant lead in terms of market share and revenue. We
attribute this to the ongoing customer loyalty the company has
engendered that in turn continues to result in word-of-mouth
referrals.” – Stacy Crook, senior analyst of mobile enterprise and
remote access for IDC.
- “GoToMyPC has made life easier because
it’s allowed us to do absolutely everything administrative we need
to in the office – out of the office. There are no more
limitations. Before, it wasn’t possible to remotely access our
property management system which is essential to our
hospitality business, but now it’s simple to retrieve information
as well as control inventory from home or while traveling instead
of calling requests in. GoToMyPC has delivered greater efficiency
and with the introduction of the iPad app, it’s even more useful.
No need to lug around a laptop or worry about being connected, and
it’s a business advantage really. Clients will eat up the fact that
our sales team can whip out their iPad to immediately respond
to a request. GoToMyPC for iPad will without a doubt be a regular
tool for our business needs.” – Jean-Francois Vary, general manager
of Fairmont Heritage Place, Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco,
California.
