GoTo, formerly LogMeIn Inc.,[3] is a flexible-work provider of software as a service (SaaS) and cloud-based remote work tools for collaboration and IT management, with products including GoTo Connect, GoTo Resolve, Rescue, Central, and more, built for small and midsized business IT departments but powerful enough for the enterprise. The company was founded in 2003 and based in Boston, Massachusetts,[4] and rebranded from LogMeIn to GoTo on February 2, 2022.[5] The rebrand to GoTo comes with a simplified product portfolio to a single application and two flagship products: the IT management and support product, GoTo Resolve, and a new experience for the unified-communications-as-a-service (UCaaS) product, GoTo Connect. These products are unified by a single application, administrative system, and converging user experience.

The rebrand to GoTo announced the launch of a single application with two flagship products: GoTo Resolve for IT management and GoTo Connect for a collaboration application.[6]

On October 9, 2015, LogMeIn acquired LastPass for US$110 million.[7][8][9][10] On December 14, 2021, the company announced that LastPass would spin off into its own cloud-based security company.[11]

In February 2017, LogMeIn completed a merger with GetGo, the corporate spin-off of the GoTo product line from Citrix Systems.[12]

On December 17, 2019, LogMeIn announced an agreement to be sold for $4.3 billion to Francisco Partners and Evergreen Coast Capital Corp., which is a private equity affiliate of Elliott Management Corporation.[13] The deal closed on August 31, 2020.[14]

LogMeIn was founded in 2003 in Budapest as 3am Labs, and changed its name in 2006.[15]

3am Labs acquired the Hamachi VPN product.[16]

LogMeIn, Inc., completed an initial public offering in 2009. Trading of LogMeIn, Inc., shares on the NASDAQ Global Market commenced on July 1, 2009.[17]

In 2011, the company began a move into cloud services for the Internet of things by acquiring Pachube, which would later become the Xively service.[18] In May 2014, it added to this initiative by acquiring Ionia Corp., which specializes in integrating connected objects.[19]

LogMeIn, Inc., acquired Bold Software, LLC, in 2012.[20][21]

The company abruptly discontinued LogMeIn Free on January 21, 2014, giving users only a seven-day grace period to migrate to LogMeIn Pro.[22]

LogMeIn acquired Meldium for $15M in September 2014[23] and retired the Meldium product offering in July 2017.[24]

In July 2016, LogMeIn announced in a merger with Citrix's GoTo products using a Reverse Morris Trust.[25]

In February 2018, the company announced the sale of Xively to Google for $50M.[26] Also in February 2018, the company announced the acquisition of Jive Communications for $342M.[27]
