GoTo launches new communications platform GoTo Connect for Education for schools and universities

GoTo, a cloud communications platform, has announced the launch of GoTo Connect for Education, a new communications platform for schools and universities.

GoTo Connect for Education offers calls, virtual classrooms, messaging, and safety alerts in one platform. GoTo says this will streamline operations and allow educators to focus on delivering better learning experiences.

The system, which is now available in the US, UK, and Ireland, offers emergency calling and group paging notifications, and can integrate with existing technology such as analogue paging, bell systems, and existing hardware phone systems.

"Ease of management is vital for our busy IT team,” explains Steve Maycock, Head of Infrastructure and Security at Leigh Academies Trust. “GoTo Connect’s call-handling has the strongest administrative front-end of any system, allowing staff to easily set up and adapt.” 

“Managing multiple, outdated communication systems is a challenge for schools and universities, often creating a complex IT environment. With GoTo Connect for Education, we’re giving teachers and administrators a single dashboard to oversee communications from individual schools all the way up to the entire district,” adds Damon Covey, General Manager of UCC at GoTo. 

“GoTo Connect for Education takes out the guesswork and streamlines the buying process with straightforward pricing and a solution that can easily scale at no additional cost. GoTo Connect also integrates seamlessly with existing setups, such as bell and paging systems, so educators and staff can collaborate more efficiently and minimise disruption.”
