Citrix Extends Its Commitment to the Mobile Workstyles Revolution
December 21 2011 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Citrix today announced the expansion of its growing line of
mobile workforce solutions with the availability of Citrix®
GoToMyPC® for Android™ tablet. The new app joins GoToMeeting® and
GoToManage® as the latest addition to the growing suite of “GoTo”
services available to mobile users. In addition, Citrix announced
solutions to enable the mobile enterprise with updates to Citrix
Receiver™ for Android, as well as the release of the new Citrix
XenApp™ 6.5 Mobility Pack and Mobile Application SDK. This
full-featured release of the Mobility Pack was announced as a tech
preview at Citrix Synergy™ Barcelona in October.
“Enterprises are being flooded with employee requests to support
new mobile devices, especially as more companies are adopting a
'Bring Your Own Device' policy in response to employee demand for
anywhere anytime access to corporate networks from their personal
devices,” said Brett Caine, SVP, Citrix Online Services Division.
“The new mobile applications are designed to enable organizations
to simply and cost-effectively grant employees the secure mobile
productivity and flexibility they need.”
“GoTo” Workstyles
Businesses of all sizes are increasingly seeking new ways to
keep their workforce connected and productive without tethering
them to their desks and laptops. The “GoTo” application suite
strikes the careful balance between connectivity and personal
freedom, allowing employees to access everything they need to
securely conduct business regardless of whether they are working
from home or are held up in the airport. And by creating a more
mobile and agile workforce, businesses realize the benefits of
increased employee engagement and productivity.
According to a recent study done by Citrix, accelerating growth
in the market for mobile applications can be attributed to the
consumerization of IT and increased employee usage of smartphones
and tablets. In particular, the downstream ramifications of
employee interest in accessing their desktops on mobile devices
have made mobile device support solutions critical for businesses
across all sizes and industries. The Citrix “GoTo” suite of mobile
applications brings users all the benefits of access, collaboration
and device support no matter what their mobile preference, giving
them the freedom to break away from the office and work whenever,
and however, they desire.
Enabling the Mobile Enterprise
Citrix is empowering users with increasingly mobile workstyles
and enabling the personal cloud, while giving IT the solutions
needed to deliver anytime, anywhere access to desktops,
applications and data. New additions to the Citrix portfolio
include the XenApp 6.5 Mobility Pack, which delivers tablet
optimized desktops for XenApp 6.5 that automatically re-skin
XenApp-shared desktops for more intuitive touch-friendly use on
tablet devices. Plus, the Mobility Pack provides users with a true
native device experience by recognizing the type of endpoint
operating system and enabling mobile device features such as
auto-keyboard popup, local selector controls, and auto-scrolling.
The XenApp Mobile Application SDK allows software developers to
create custom enterprise applications hosted with XenApp that have
full access to mobile devices sensors such as GPS and cameras.
Advancements in Citrix Receiver across all mobile platforms
increase user productivity by making Windows apps more intuitive on
mobile devices. In addition, the latest updates in Citrix Receiver
for Android include RSA soft token integration and support for
Citrix CloudGateway™.
