In less than three years since launching LogMeIn Free-the first commercially-supported, free, web-based remote access service-the company has come to dominate the remote access industry with the size of its global user base, and has moved onto the broader challenge of serving connectivity, digital living and the small business computer and device support markets. Recently the company announced it has more than 15 million users worldwide and is growing by 1.5 million more each month.
"The traffic headaches caused by the accident on the MacArthur Maze illustrates how telecommuting can help to solve problems for commuters and state authorities," said Michael Simon, CEO, LogMeIn, Inc. "With LogMeIn, people can shift their hours to commute during off hours or completely eliminate the need to go to the office, while still having full access to their office computer and files. This reduces traffic volume on the roads, making it easier to facilitate repairs, and reduces stress for employees, who remain connected and productive."
