Citrix Customers Transform Their Businesses with Mobile Workspace Solutions
Citrix
today announced customers who are transforming their businesses with
Citrix mobile workspace solutions, demonstrating how its virtualization,
networking and cloud services technologies empower new ways for people
to work better. With consumerization, mobility and BYOD continuing to
impact and evolve the workplace, industry analysts estimate the emerging
mobile workspaces market is set to grow 15 times in the next three
years1. With Citrix XenDesktop®, XenApp®, XenMobile®,
ShareFile®, GoToMeeting® and NetScaler® offerings, Citrix continues to
provide a complete mobile workspace solution that securely delivers
apps, desktops, files and services to any user, on any device over any
network – all with an intuitive user experience. As a result, workers
gain access to a portable, always on, always connected working
environment that follows them no matter where they go, no matter what
device they choose to use, and no matter what method of connectivity
they happen to be leveraging. No other vendor provides the breadth of
capabilities – from app and desktop virtualization, to secure mobile app
and device management, to cloud networking – that are needed to enable
the delivery of comprehensive and personalized mobile workspaces.
The mobile and cloud era is marked by the rapid emergence of devices,
app platforms, millennial generation, social media and globalization
that are driving dramatic changes in how IT organizations respond. With
61 percent of information workers today now working outside the office2 and using an average of three or more devices a day for work purposes3, and 72 percent of workers feeling unequipped with the technology necessary to get their jobs done outside the office4,
organizations are struggling with how to embrace business mobility.
Moreover, technology decision makers are seeing security challenges in
how to provide technology to these workers, with 67 percent expressing
concerns about data protection on mobile devices5.
Today’s forward-thinking IT organizations are leveraging mobile
workspace solutions from Citrix to enable seamless access to mobile, web
and Windows apps, data and collaboration tools, while securely
delivering services regardless of where or how they need to be accessed.
As a result, they are achieving increased business agility and
transforming the way their employees and customers work. Here are a few
examples of how Citrix customers are leveraging the power of a mobile
workspace:
-
Mobile workspaces deliver access to patient records. A large
U.S. healthcare organization needed a solution to protect highly
sensitive patient records while enabling clinicians and doctors to
access documents from anywhere. With the implementation of a Citrix
mobile workspace strategy, the organization is now able to meet HIPAA
compliance requirements and deliver real-time access to critical patient
information.
-
Mobile workspaces enable Department of Justice to meet compliance requirements. A
state Department of Justice (DOJ) provides its employees, including law
enforcement officers, with secure access to critical criminal justice
information on mobile devices while meeting department and government
compliance policies. Describing the technology as a “law enforcement
game changer,” the DOJ highlighted that the Citrix mobile workspace
solution has enabled them to increase productivity across multiple
departments.
-
Mobile workspaces enable collaboration. The need for secure
mobility isn’t just limited to traditional businesses. An elementary
school leverages Citrix collaboration technology to hold classes during a
snowstorm to keep from tacking on make-up days at the end of the school
year. Teachers were able to broadcast the scheduled lessons to their
students via iPads, allowing the students to attend classes from home in
a safe and secure environment.
Mobile workspaces are playing a
key role in addressing the new organizational imperative around secure
mobility. The Citrix mobile workspace solution addresses these needs by
providing security and control for IT, while giving employees the
flexibility to work from anywhere, on the device of their choice with
access to all the apps, data and collaboration tools they need to work
like they are in the office.
