Mobile Workspace Solution Simplifies IT,
Reduces Costs and Increases Business Agility
Citrix today announced customers who are empowering a mobile
workforce with Citrix Workspace Suite™, which unites its
market-leading virtualization, mobility, networking and cloud
services technologies to make it even easier for people to work
anywhere. Since the launch of Citrix Workspace Suite at Citrix
Synergy™ in May 2014, customers around the world have embraced
mobile workspaces, enabling thousands of people to gain instant,
secure access to all apps, desktops, data and services from any
device over any network. Citrix Workspace Suite addresses a
critical industry need for a comprehensive and secure solution that
integrates app and desktop virtualization, mobile app and device
management, enterprise file sharing, WAN optimization and secure
access to enable people to choose when, where and how work gets
done.
Accelerated globalization and the rapid proliferation of devices
and app platforms has made mobility in the workplace both an
expectation and a necessity, driving dramatic changes in how IT
organizations respond. Today, with 61 percent of information
workers working outside the office1 and using an average of three
or more devices daily for work purposes2, businesses are struggling
to embrace business mobility. However, mobility is not just about
improving IT – 67 percent of organizations state that leveraging
mobile to improve their business’ ability to innovate is a high or
critical priority3. Until now, organizations have had to rely on
disparate technologies to support their desktop, mobile and app
infrastructure, but standalone products are no longer meeting the
requirements for a comprehensive business mobility strategy.
“Different jobs will require different tools, and a worker’s
technology toolkit might include some permutation of a PC, tablet,
smartphone, or even a wearable device,” wrote Forrester analyst
Christian Kane in a recent report titled, The Future Of Mobile
Device Management4. “A siloed management system that only works for
mobile devices and not PCs will make it harder to take an
employee-centric rather than a device-centric view.”
Citrix Workspace Suite brings together app, desktop, mobile and
data services to provide people with a personalized mobile
workspace that follows them no matter where they go, what device
they use or how they are connected. This unique combination of
Citrix technologies provides a comprehensive employee-centric
unified management system for today’s evolving mobile workforce.
Businesses are already leveraging the power of the industry’s most
complete mobile workspace solution to simplify IT and reduce costs,
while achieving increased business agility:
- Large healthcare network saves half
a million dollars. A large hospital network faced three
challenges: efficiently integrating acquired organizations and
physicians, managing its Electronic Medical Records system across
multiple hospitals and devices, and improving patient care by
allowing doctors access to records and internal applications on any
device while ensuring any technology solution would help the
hospital maintain its HIPAA compliance. They found Citrix Workspace
Suite was the ideal solution as it provided them a single, flexible
solution to meet all of their needs, while providing a projected
savings of $500k by 2017.
- Law enforcement agency goes from 0
to 60 in mobility. A law enforcement agency needed to address
the costly management and support of their physical desktop and
application environments, archaic methods of file sharing (e.g.,
burning to DVD and sending via postal service), and the reality
that they needed to provide field workers with mobile devices and
access to data. While evaluating solutions from Citrix and a
competing vendor, they chose Citrix Workspace Suite because it is a
complete mobility solution incorporating desktop and application
delivery, secure data sharing and enterprise mobility management
that can be used with any device.
- Energy company goes beyond mobile
device management to fully embrace BYOD. A large natural gas
producer had a single objective: move away from corporate-issued
Blackberries to fully embrace BYOD. To do this, they needed a
solution that had the security of Blackberry, while being able to
deliver all of the mobile, web, SaaS and Windows apps their
workforce needed. They found Citrix Workspace Suite, which includes
secure email and web clients, would enable them to deliver a
complete mobility strategy with app and desktop virtualization,
mobile application management and access to enterprise-grade native
mobile apps, all with a consistent user experience.
- Manufacturer uses mobile workspace
infrastructure to future-proof their growing business. A
rapidly growing manufacturer had an immediate need: they had
recently expanded from two to four sites, with more growth
expected, and needed to centralize IT and share data between
locations. They also had an aging PC population, as well as a
growing number of mobile devices coming into the environment. Given
the scope of this project, they looked at multiple solutions, but
found most were too expensive and did not have the complete set of
functionality they needed to address their requirements. With
Citrix Workspace Suite, they were able to accomplish all of their
goals: centralize desktop and application management and delivery,
securely share large files across sites, support the increasing
number of mobile users and establish an infrastructure that will
support their future growth.
