Citrix Online was the name of the online services division of Citrix Systems. Citrix Online sold web-based remote access, support, and collaboration software and services. Its products are GoToAssist, GoToMeeting, GoToMyPC, GoToTraining, GoToWebinar, Podio, and OpenVoice. Citrix Online used the software as a service (SaaS) and application service provider (ASP) software business models.[2][3]
Citrix Online started as "Expertcity, Inc." in 1997 and was acquired by Citrix Systems in 2003, subsequently changing its name to "Citrix Online".[4][5] Citrix Online was renamed to Citrix's SaaS division in 2014, and Citrix Mobility Apps Business Unit in 2015. In November 2015 Citrix announced it would be spun off into a new standalone company.
In July 2016, it was announced that the new company, consisting of the Citrix Online collaboration products (the "GoTo family" of products), would be merged with the business operations of LogMeIn, Inc during the first quarter of 2017.[6] The merger occurred on January 31, 2017 with Citrix shareholders owning 50.1% of the stock of the new LogMeIn and LogMeIn shareholders owning 49.9% of the stock of the merged company.[6] The combined company was headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, and led by executives of both LogMeIn and Citrix Online.[7]
