Latest Remote Access Innovation Extends the
Promise of Mobile Workspaces on Any Device
Citrix today announced ShareConnect, an app that delivers an
unmatched desktop-like experience to Android tablets and the iPad,
including instant access to business-critical applications, files
and networks, as well as full-scale document editing, all in an
experience optimized for tablets.
Designed for people and teams who need to get more done on the
go, ShareConnect frees tablet users to work just as effectively
from outside the office as they can in the office, without
sacrificing speed, usability or desktop features. With research
showing the average worker uses around three devices in a day,
ShareConnect enables people to work securely on one device, shift
to the next and pick up right where they left off, ensuring optimal
performance and productivity.
“Today’s workforce is more mobile than ever and they face two
major challenges; not all data is stored in the cloud and many
desktop apps are not fully functional through mobile apps,” said
Jesse Lipson, vice president, Citrix. “With ShareConnect, users can
access and edit files, use industry-specific desktop apps critical
to getting their work done and even use their business networks –
all through a simple interface, optimized pixel by pixel for
tablets.”
Features:
- Access and edit files:
ShareConnect always displays the most recent files worked on,
enabling users to access and edit those files on native desktop
applications while on the business network, if needed.
- Business networks a tap away:
Network access is built into the ShareConnect app allowing workers
to run resource-intensive desktop programs typically available only
on the company network. The desktop processing power needed to
smoothly run CAD programs, Illustrator or proprietary legacy
applications is now seamless from Android and iOS tablets.
- Clean innovative design: Desktop
PC applications are optimized for the iPad and Android OS, opening
in full screen mode, so employees can get right to work. Swipe,
pinch and zoom functionality, full keyboard control and the ability
to preview and edit Microsoft Office files create a true
desktop-like experience even when outside the office.
- Free storage: ShareConnect
provides 1 GB of free cloud storage from Citrix ShareFile, the
secure and simple file-sharing tool used by more than 15 million
people around the world.
Citrix has focused on providing people with secure access to
apps and data since it was founded 25 years ago. As technology
has become a seamless part of both work and personal life, Citrix
has removed the barriers for business mobility to empower people
and teams to choose when, where and how work gets done. The
availability of Citrix ShareConnect highlights how the company is
enhancing its mobile workspace solutions to provide ways for
organizations to securely manage a diverse and mobile workforce
while optimizing user experience.
Availability
ShareConnect is available for free download in the iTunes App
Store and Google Play. ShareConnect can also be downloaded for
instant connections to installed computers at ShareConnect.com.
Existing Citrix ShareFile users will be able to log in to
ShareConnect with ShareFile credentials and some ShareFile plans
will now include instant ShareConnect access, extending the value
of ShareFile with deeper integrations between the two products on
the horizon.
