GoToAssist was exhaustively tested in head-to-head competition on live production systems. These real-world tests demonstrated that GoToAssist is up to two times faster than the competition and in many cases as much as three times faster. In some scenarios, connections were completed in as few as six seconds, which is unprecedented in the industry. The testing encompassed both first-time support requests from customers and repeat sessions and was conducted in locations around the world.
Efficiencies in support operations depends on how many customers a rep can service in an hour or a day. The amount of time saved with the latest release of GoToAssist can translate directly into hundreds of thousands of pounds saved in the form of reduced contact centre staffing requirements.
“In a world driven by mobile workstyles and the consumerisation of IT, we are seeing a renewed demand for cloud-based remote support services,” said Elizabeth Cholawsky, GM and VP of IT Support at Citrix. “We’ve long been recognised as the gold standard for in-session performance. With the time-to-session improvements in the new release, GoToAssist is now more valuable than ever for maximising the efficiencies of mobile, distributed teams. The speed of GoToAssist as verified by these tests is yet another reason we are the worldwide leader in remote support solutions.”
