Citrix Unveils Latest XenMobile Release and Technology Preview of New Mobile Productivity Apps
Today at Citrix Synergy™,
Citrix announced a new release of its Citrix XenMobile® enterprise
mobility management (EMM) solution and a technology preview of new
WorxNotes™, WorxEdit™ and WorxDesktop™ workflow-driven mobile
productivity apps. The new XenMobile release includes significant
enhancements in user experience, platform security and support, as well
as management integrations that improve scalability and speed time to
value for business. The new workflow-driven mobile productivity apps
from Citrix are key business apps with intelligent integrations that
seamlessly work together, resulting in a simple and intuitive user
experience. For example, people can join a meeting directly from their
calendar, take notes and distribute them to all participants with just a
few simple taps. As a result, mobile employees can be more productive
on their tablets and phones, while IT retains control.
Mobility is a top priority for virtually every organization, from
healthcare providers to government institutions, as evidenced by
XenMobile’s more than 100 percent year-on-year growth in Q1 FY2014. In
order to stay agile and drive business growth, today’s organizations are
recognizing the need to securely deliver mobile workspaces
that provide all the business tools and information their employees
need to be productive in the office and on the go. Over 85 percent of
Citrix Mobile Platform customers are choosing integrated EMM offerings
versus standalone MDM technologies, as they recognize the urgency for
securing and delivering more intelligent and intuitive apps to
effectively mobilize their workforce. XenMobile now offers the
industry’s most complete family of secure workflow-driven mobile
productivity apps for business.
