GoTo has partnered with Miro to bring a new integration to its range of flagship products.
Miro, a visual collaboration platform, is now available for meetings and training sessions in the GoTo application to enable real-time collaboration for hybrid workforces.
GoTo has confirmed that Miro is available for GoTo Connect, GoTo Meeting, and GoTo Training customers.
Damon Covey, Head of Product at GoTo, commented: “At GoTo, what matters to us most is meeting the needs of our customers.
“As hybrid and remote work remain a staple in our workforce, we need to ensure that effective collaboration can occur with the same ease as in the office, regardless of where employees choose to get work done.
“With our new Miro integration, GoTo enables businesses to maintain a high level of productivity through visual whiteboard collaboration from anywhere.”
The integration of Miro into GoTo’s applications will enable businesses to do the following:
- Collaborate on a Miro board: Due to Miro integrating directly into GoTo’s communications products, customers can access Miro boards without leaving their meetings or training sessions. This is designed to ensure hybrid workers can collaborate more efficiently and effectively.
- Ideal for hybrid work: By integrating Miro into its platforms, GoTo can drive better engagement across all teams. The partnership is designed to unlock more efficient collaboration through brainstorming, diagramming, journey mapping, and more.
- Visual collaboration: Users can access tools such as sticky notes, mind maps, timeline builders, code blocks, charts, tables, and more, to help drive real-time collaboration.
- No need for a Miro account: GoTo has confirmed that its customers don’t need to have a Miro account to use the collaboration tools. Users can create a new blank board within GoTo, which will be accessible for 24 hours. Users who want to save their whiteboards can sign-up for Miro for free.
“Our new integration with GoTo creates another method of seamless collaboration and makes it easier for teams to connect, learn, and grow together truly — all in one place.”
GoTo has confirmed that Miro is now available for its customers within the new GoTo application.
The company has followed in the footsteps of Google, who, in July last year, also partnered with Miro to bring the collaboration platform to Google Meet.
Miro boards are integrated into the Meet Activities panel. Once a board is selected, Miro will launch, and all existing Meet features will be available in a side panel, along with the meeting participants.
Users can create a new Miro board before a meeting, attach it to the invite, or use the feature during an ongoing discussion.
By integrating Miro into its products, GoTo is helping to drive productivity in the remote and hybrid workspace.
Earlier this month, Paul Carolan, AVP of Sales EMEA at GoTo, claimed that remote work had become a business imperative, and people need to be able to work from anywhere.
Carolan commented on what was dubbed in the UK media as ‘Tragic Thursday’ (January 5) due to an estimated 10 per cent of trains running across the country as rail workers went on strike.
He commented:
“The cost-of-living crisis, economic volatility, and ongoing train strike action show how unpredictable the world can be.
“To accommodate this, remote work has become a business imperative: people need to be able to work from anywhere.
“However, while the flexibility of remote and hybrid work models offers a range of benefits, it also poses some new challenges.
“For instance, employees scattered around the country and even the world can no longer swing by the IT desk when they encounter a technology problem.
“This can cause delays in business operations which ultimately impacts the bottom line.”
GoTo said that because of the likelihood of future industrial action, businesses would also need to prepare their IT departments to help remote employees should they have any technical problems.
