get things done with enhanced guided work capabilities

at work throughout the day along with the insights you need to get
them done automatically popped up on your phone, tablet or PC so
you didn’t have to sift through your inbox, search your calendar or
go six clicks deep into an enterprise application to execute a
simple task? Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) thinks so, and is
enhancing its digital workspace solutions to make this vision a
reality. The company today announced that it has acquired Sapho, a
