Citrix Ushers in New Era of Employee Engagement and Productivity

Citrix Systems announced it is making work smarter through next-generation intelligence capabilities that allow companies to deliver a unified and contextual experience across any device or network that engages employees and enables them to perform at their best. The enhancements were unveiled at Citrix Synergy, the premier digital work conference taking place in Atlanta this week.

“There’s a lot of noise in the workplace today that keeps us from doing what we want and are paid to do,” said PJ Hough, Chief Product Officer, Citrix. “At Citrix, our solutions are designed with one thing in mind: eliminate distractions so that people can focus on work that matters and do what they do best.”

“Employees today deal with as many as 11 different apps a day to get their work done. And most of their functionality goes unused or makes tasks more difficult as employees spend too much time — almost 10 hours a week — searching for the information they need,” said Hough. “The overload and complexity hinder employee experience and lead to low levels of employee engagement. That must change.”

Through Citrix Workspace, companies can provide single sign on access to all the apps and content employees prefer to use in one, unified experience, including out-of-the-box integrations with more than 150 enterprise applications such as Salesforce, Workday, SAP Ariba and SAP Concur, ServiceNow, Microsoft Outlook and G Suite.

Planned integrations with the most widely used identity and access management providers, including Okta, Ping, Radius, and GoogleID, combined with Citrix Workspace security controls will enable them to deliver these apps more securely than operating them natively.

“Technology is an engine of innovation. But in many ways, it has stalled and become a barrier to productivity and progress,” Hough said. “At Citrix, our mission is to deliver the experience, security and choice our customers need to spend less time managing technology and more time harnessing it to deliver a compelling employee experience that transforms business results.”
