Citrix Workspace app: Most Comprehenive Secure Digital Workspace

Today’s users have multiple apps, files, folders and devices they need to access just get their work done, but all that technology doesn’t necessarily equate to improved productivity. In many ways, it makes productivity worse. A person may need to send an important document or an older presentation, but they may not be on the device where they saved that distinct presentation. Or there are a number of SaaS apps that an employee needs to access throughout the day, but each one has its own credentials that the user needs to remember and track independently. IT teams are also challenged with managing a growing application portfolio and securing various devices types and operating systems entering the enterprise.

The workspace is about improving productivity and providing a better experience for how people work and where they work — with the right set of apps and files exactly in the moment they need it.” With the mission when we embarked on building the Citrix Workspace app was to provide a unified workspace experience unlikely anything else available in the market today. We were committed to delivering an experience that integrates everything people need to get their job done, but to make it seamless and available in one experience. We wanted to ensure continuity as people move throughout their workday, across devices and networks. But also wanted to give IT the control they need to ensure their apps and files weren’t compromised. We want to make sure users spend more time thinking about getting work done, and not the location of a file or the various passwords for their sometimes-accessed apps. As PJ Hough puts it….Read More

Citrix Analytics brings newer workspace transformation

One of the compelling aspects of technology is the pace of innovation and change. Not long ago, a laptop or desktop computer with keyboard and mouse hardwired to the corporate network clearly defined a workspace. In this new era of user-centric computing, where users engage across multiple devices, platforms and clouds, how does IT keep up? Visibility into these heavily distributed and complex environments is difficult. The good news is that Citrix is in the business of helping organizations of all stripes navigate this workspace transformation to achieve their future of work.

An essential ingredient for IT pros to help them deliver secure digital workspaces in this fast-paced environment is advanced analytics. Citrix Analytics uniquely aggregates and correlates information across network traffic, users, files and endpoints in Citrix environments to gain a comprehensive view of users, application performance and usage. It provides predictive analytics with prescriptive actions. It uses advanced algorithms and machine learning to surface “hard to find insights” from across Citrix products, and then takes action on that information. Citrix Analytics was born to support the complexity and sophistication of today’s IT environment.

Speaking of speed of innovation, it was just a year ago at Synergy 2017 that Citrix Analytics was introduced for the first time (if you want to see the remarkable progress from inception to launch, check out the initial introduction from last years’ Synergy keynote). Here we are a year later and Citrix Analytics is on the cusp of broad availability….Read More
