GoTo has introduced GoTo Connect for Education, a new all-in-one communications platform designed to help schools and universities stay securely connected. The platform unifies calls, virtual classrooms, messaging and safety alerts into a single dashboard, giving educators and administrators an easier way to manage communication across campuses.
“Ease of management is vital for our busy IT team,” said 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.”
GoTo Connect for Education offers advanced safety features such as built-in E911 emergency services, real-time notifications, and integrations with platforms like STOPit Notify and Catapult EMS. It also supports legacy systems, including analog paging, bell systems and hardware phone integrations, allowing schools to modernize without replacing existing infrastructure.
A centralized admin portal enables IT teams to manage users, locations and licenses from one place, while simplified billing provides predictable costs through a single vendor and contract.
“Managing multiple, outdated communication systems is a challenge for schools and universities,” said Damon Covey, general manager of UCC at GoTo.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.”
GoTo Connect for Education is now available to schools and universities in the U.S., U.K. and Ireland.
