LogMeIn Goes to the Marketplace, Boosts Integrations
LogMeIn this week revealed GoTo Marketplace and a series of new integrations for its GoTo suite of UC and collaboration products.
The GoTo Marketplace will feature a range of applications that integrate with the GoTo suite, including GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, Jive, and GoToConnect, LogMeIn said. The integrations include:
Salesforce Lightning for Jive/GoToConnect – Currently in beta, the integration lets Jive Voice and GoToConnect users click to call straight from Salesforce and provides automatic call logging and daily call tracking capabilities.
Salesforce Lightning for GoToMeeting – Similarly, users can launch GoToMeeting straight from Salesforce.
Theta Lake for GoToMeeting – With this integration, GoToMeeting users can record and archive video meetings.
Zoho for Jive/GoToConnect – The integration provides click-to-call dialing, call logging, and automatic routing for sales organizations and also works with GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar, Prezi for GoToWebinar – GoToWebinar users can share visuals directly into webinars, as opposed to screen sharing, via Prezi capabilities.
Clio for Jive/GoToConnect – For legal practices, this integration allows GoToConnect users to receive Clio alerts when a client is calling and tracks time to ensure accurate billing.

The device is 46.4 inches x 4.8 inches and comes with a full-color display that provides information like time, volume, and if mute is on/off.

Nureva HDL200, priced at $1,600, is available for order today for shipping starting in March, and the Nureva Console will be available to all Nureva customers for no additional cost starting in February, according to Nureva.
IPI, Aculab Partner on Biometrics
Contact center solution provider IPI has partnered with telephony hardware and software provider Aculab to reduce the friction during contact center identity and verification processes.
