The Evolving GoTo Ecosystem: Innovation at GoTo

At Techgrants, we pride ourselves on working with some of the best innovators in the technology world. With our comparison matrix, guides, and Transformation Grant, we assist companies in accessing the digital transformation tools they need to evolve.

GoTo, one of the partners in our incredible ecosystem, has proven its commitment to consistently finding new ways to support its customers over the years. In the last few years alone, GoTo has introduced a host of new tools to its ecosystem, including the powerful “GoTo Resolve” solution for unified RMM, proactive monitoring, and no-code IT automation.

From day one, GoTo (formerly LogMeIn) has developed a reputation as an innovative leader in flexible SaaS and cloud-based tools for remote work, and business management. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at the evolution of the GoTo portfolio in the last few years.

The Evolution of GoTo: Creating a Comprehensive Platform

Launched in 2003, GoTo (LogMeIn) is a flexible work innovator, providing software as a service and cloud-based tools for IT management, collaboration, and more. The company produces solutions intuitive enough for the small and mid-sized business landscape, but also powerful enough to serve larger enterprise companies.

GoTo was built on a mission to help people and businesses around the world do their best work both simply and securely, from any environment. In a world where the boundaries between life and work are becoming increasingly blurred, GoTo wants to provide companies with an all-in-one solution for accessing all of the tools and equipment they need.

GoTo’s technology strategy aims to help people, by allowing them to work securely from anywhere, keeping everyone happy, safe and productive, as well as businesses, by ensuring continuity in the face of disruptions. Even before the rebranding to “GoTo”, the company was focusing on this strategy, using it to drive their growth decisions.

The company purchased “LastPass” in 2015, to provide companies with more convenient password management and cloud-based security solutions. The brand has also consistently built on its product portfolio with a focus on:
• Simplicity: All of GoTo’s products are designed to be simple to implement and use, for every employee. The company has a fantastic customer service team, always on-call to help out with any issues business leaders might face.
• Security: GoTo consistently safeguards business systems, using banking-grade encryption, zero-trust security measures, and intelligent solutions for safety. This ensures companies can retain high levels of compliance in any industry.
• Flexibility: GoTo’s tools are scalable and flexible. They integrate with the tools and resources companies already use on a day-to-day basis. Plus, GoTo offers dedicated solutions to specific industries, from automotive, to healthcare, and legal brands.

The Extensive GoTo Product Line

Over the years, GoTo has built an extensive product line, focusing on solutions for communication and collaboration, remote access and support, helpdesks, and more. As mentioned above, the company is always building on its product collection, with new, more advanced services, including the GoTo Resolve solution, intended to make IT easy.

Some of the core components of the GoTo product line today include:

GoTo Connect

GoTo Connect is the company’s comprehensive UCaaS solution, offering an all-in-one toolkit for phone, meeting, and message-based conversations.
