Among its accomplishments in 2020, Splashtop:
Earned a customer satisfaction-measuring Net Promoter Score (NPS) score of 93, based on a third-party report by G2—the highest NPS of any company in the remote access business.
Served 85% of Fortune 500 companies—including FedEx, GE, Marriott and Toyota—as well as government and education institutions such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Harvard University, Stanford Healthcare, and a research lab enabling COVID-19 vaccine research by major pharmaceutical companies.
Helped thousands of businesses shift to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling employees to remotely access their work-based computers, data and software applications from their personal devices at home.
Allowed hundreds of thousands of students, in both K-12 and higher education institutions, to access software applications running in school-based computer labs from home using their laptops, tablets and Chromebooks.
