Feb. 12, 2013 09:02 AM
Citrix today announced the extension of its growing line of mobility
solutions with the enhancement and availability of several apps that
help power mobile workstyles. Citrix’s portfolio of easy-to-use collaboration,
data
sharing, remote
access and IT
support tools are available across more platforms than ever before
including Apple iOS, Google Android, Microsoft Windows RT and Windows 8,
and BlackBerry OS.
“Teams are working across a broader range of devices than ever before
and need a consistent, great experience in terms of the content they can
access and the ways they can collaborate,”
said Bernardo de Albergaria, VP & GM, Line of Business, Citrix. “We now
deliver a wide range of mobile tools enabling users to get work done,
regardless of location. Individuals can seamlessly move from their
laptop in the office, to their Android device on the commute, to their
iPad in the home, maintaining access to the information and individuals
they need to be most productive.”
Powering New Mobile Workstyles
According to Forrester, 29%
of the global workforce are now anytime, anywhere information workers
who use three or more devices, work from multiple locations and use many
apps.1 As employees increasingly choose flexible workstyles
that give them the power to decide where and when they work, businesses
inevitably become more distributed as people become more dispersed.
Citrix’s family of mobile applications gives individuals and
organizations the power to meet with team members wherever they are,
collaborate on projects, share data and access devices remotely from
virtually any mobile platform. Adoption of mobile
workstyles can increase productivity by 30% or more, with associated
cost reductions, as people can work in ways that are both convenient to
them while also moving business forward faster, completing projects more
quickly while providing individuals with greater choice as to where and
how they work.

following recent additions:

management tool adds another mobile device platform to a growing
