IT MANAGEMENT is the inspiration for much of GoTo’s recent product development. “It was the driving force behind GoTo’s recent innovation of GoTo Resolve, announcing a new suite of remote monitoring and management (RMM) and mobile device management (MDM) features, laying the foundation for GoTo’s evolution towards a full IT service management (ITSM) solution. These features streamline workloads and resolve IT challenges in a unified solution and expand access to IT management across all devices,” he said.

The solution provides MSP-specific account administration and reporting features and GoTo’s best-in-class remote support tools to easily support and troubleshoot clients’ IT assets.

That summarises the general advice my father always used to give me. Have you ever had any embarrassing moments at work? A few years back, I was presenting at a sales conference in front of a large audience and as I turned around after being handed the microphone, I accidently knocked the host off the back of the stage! What is your favourite quote and why? ‘Life is simple, but we insist on making it complicated.’ This quote from Confucius has always really resonated with me, especially in recent years when life seems to have gotten more complex, frantic and fractured. What is currently top of your playlist? My playlist mainstays are Bjork, Massive Attack, Radiohead, Goldfrapp and Gorillaz, but I always try to explore different artists and genres. My daughters have recently got me into Turkish and Arabic music. What would your dream job be? Travel blogger/reviewer or Top 10 PGA golfer. Android or Apple? Apple What was the last app you downloaded on your phone and why? Magzter. It allows me to access lots of different newspapers and magazines and is great for flights and travel. How do you like to spend your spare time? With my family (wife and two daughters). We love to travel, when possible, or simply go to shows, exhibits and restaurants in London on the weekends. I’m trying to get back into reading books and spending less time staring at my phone!
