Web Commuting To the Rescue of Snowed-in Workers

Free extended versions of GoToMeeting and GoToMyPC to help UK commuters remain productive when they can’t get to the office

Amersham, UK – February 3, 2009 – Did the snow keep you at home yesterday? Faced with more severe weather warnings, disruption will continue for UK office workers this week. But help is at hand as Citrix Online has launched extended free trials of its GoToMeeting® and GoToMyPC® remote working tools, giving workers the ability to meet online and access their PC from any location in order to combat travel chaos and school closures.

“With news reports indicating that the recent snowfalls are the worst to hit Britain in 18 years it is important to provide businesses with the tools necessary for employees to continue to work wherever they are” says Bernardo de Albergaria, vice president and general manager of global marketing and eCommerce for Citrix Online. “GoToMyPC is a great tool for remote desktop access for any kind of disruption, whether it be related to bad weather, traffic congestion or even taking care of a sick child. The GoToMeeting product is also a simple solution that can have a big impact on the success of any organisation that depends on outreach to dispersed customers or employees – particularly with the recent weather we are seeing in Britain today.”

Free, 60-day trials of GoToMyPC and GoToMeeting can be set up in a matter of minutes, by visiting www.gotomypc.com/webcommuting and www.gotomeeting.com/webcommuting, enabling workers to be highly productive from the comfort of their own home.

GoToMeeting enables people to easily and securely collaborate with colleagues and clients in real time. Online meetings can be set up in an instant at the click of a mouse. Since participants don’t need to download any software, anyone, from anywhere with a Web browser, can take part, negating the need for unnecessary travel.

GoToMyPC is the fast, easy and secure way for anyone to access their PC from a Web browser and work as if they were sitting at their desk. Users can retrieve files, programs and email that are back at the office, or even access the corporate network, greatly enhancing flexibility and productivity.
