Technology and business development
GoToMyPC was originally developed by Expertcity of Santa Barbara, CA, founded in 1997 to provide high-quality, third-party, tech-support services. It was modeled after competitive software such as PCAnywhere from Symantec,[1] allowing the desktop view of a host computer to be manipulated from a client computer that is connected though a TCP/IP network. GoToMyPC enlarged that software model by using the Internet for connectivity, protecting transmissions with high-security encryption and multiple passwords.

By combining a Web-hosted subscription service with software installed on the host computer, transmissions could be passed through highly restrictive firewalls. [2] In its product literature[3] and press releases[4] Expertcity spoke of patent protection for its proprietary technology.
In December, 2003, Citrix Systems of Fort Lauderdale, FL, acquired the GoToMyPC service and its developer, Expertcity, for $225 million, half cash and half stock. [5] News reports from January, 2006, indicated that Citrix had attained the leading market share for Web-hosted remote access.
