Overview
The company was founded in 2000 by Taylor Kew and Rich Baker. In January 2013, Tom Martin joined the company as Chief Executive Officer. Glance is subscription based: businesses subscribe on an annual, monthly or daily basis. Glance eschews most traditional marketing strategies in favor of netroots-style support from blogging and social networking communities, featuring presences on Facebook, Twitter and similar sites.
Technology
Glance is designed as a web-based, cross-platform remote desktop application with several levels of redundancy to avoid disconnections. These are both physical and electronic; Glance's internet traffic travels through two geographically distinct colocation centers, one in Massachusetts and another in California.
In addition to working within Microsoft Windows and Linux, Glance supports Mac OS-based systems.
In October 2008, Glance released version 2.4. It allowed Glance account holders to either show their screen to others, as they had been able to do previously, or view their guest's screen. This additional mode allows Glance to function as a remote support program.
In January 2012, Lucid Meetings integrated Glance's service as part of its offering. Lucid users integrate Glance sessions into their own meetings allowing participants to share their screen to any desktop or mobile device.
In November 2013, Glance Networks Announces Availability of Panorama for Salesforce.com's Sales & Service Cloud.
In April 2015, Glance Networks announced that it has 20 patents approved, pending, or submitted.
In September 2016, Glance Networks' site states 23 patents submitted.
