Company delivers intelligent feed and
personalized workflows within Citrix Workspace to cut digital noise
and empower employees to do best work
Technology has made our personal lives easier than ever. But
it’s complicating things in the office. On any given day, the
average employee spends nearly 65 percent of their time on busy
work and in meetings, 20 percent searching for information and just
15 percent doing what they want and are paid to do. Why? Because
technology that was supposed to streamline work has only made it
more complex. Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) is out to change
this. The company today announced general availability of new
features within Citrix® Workspace™ including an intelligent feed
and personalized workflows designed to simplify work by eliminating
digital noise and automating meaningless tasks so that employees
can focus on their core jobs and be their best.
“As consumers, we rely on things like Instagram and Uber to
organize and manage our lives. And with a single click, we can
accomplish what we set out to do,” said Tim Minahan, Executive Vice
President of Strategy and Chief Marketing Officer, Citrix. “Then we
get to the office and these streamlined and personalized
experiences are replaced with company-issued technology that is
cumbersome to use, slows us down, continually interrupts us, and
keeps us from doing meaningful work.”
Quieting the Noise
In the course of a typical day, employees:
- Use more than a dozen apps to get work done – often four or
more just to complete a single business process like submitting
expenses, booking travel, submitting purchase orders or approving
time off.
- Spend at least 20 percent of their time searching for
information they need to do their jobs.
- Are interrupted by a text, chat, or other alert 1,110 times a
day, or about every two minutes.
“When you add it all up, that leaves just 1.2 hours of
uninterrupted time a day to focus on value-creating work,” Minahan
said.
Enabling the Future of Work Today
But this is about to change. By 2021, IDC Predicts that 60
percent of Global 2000 companies will have adopted a
future-workspace model — a flexible, intelligent, collaborative
virtual/physical work environment — to improve employee experience
and productivity, with 10 percent adopting workspace as a service.
And Citrix will be at the forefront of this transformation. (IDC

EMEA44255218, October 2018)
“The future of work has recently become a common theme from a
broad range of technology vendors and service providers. Some can
clearly articulate that theme, but it takes a combination of work
abstraction and application/client virtualization technologies to
practically deliver the future-space,” notes IDC analyst Shannon
Kalvar.
Personalizing Work
Using Citrix Workspace, companies can optimize the work day for
every employee by organizing, guiding and automating work in an
intelligent and personal way that enables them to focus on doing
what they do best - and do it best.
“At the end of the day, employees want to master their craft,”
Minahan said. “With Citrix Workspace, employers can empower them to
do so by freeing them from soul sucking tasks so that they can
focus on building their skills and engaging work.”
Unbundling Monolithic Apps
Infused with innovative technologies such as machine learning
and micro applications, Citrix Workspace enables organizations to
create a single, unified experience that is intelligent and secure
across apps and data. Leveraging out of the box integrations to the
world’s most commonly used applications, including SAP (Ariba,
Concur and SuccessFactors); Microsoft (Dynamics, Power BI and
Teams); Google G-Suite (Drive, Calendar and Directory); Salesforce;
Workday; Atlassian (Jira); Zendesk and ServiceNow; more than 100
pre-configured microapps and the new intelligent features,
companies can:
- Automate repetitive, valueless tasks.
- Extract the most pertinent tasks and insights from systems of
record and deliver them in intelligent feeds to individual users on
any device or channel.
- Create single-purpose steps to simplify the execution of
mundane tasks such as filing expenses, requesting time off and
submitting purchase orders, among other things.
- Build personal workflows around individual employees with
context and smarts so they can spend less time on menial tasks and
focus on meaningful work.
In addition, companies can also connect through Citrix Workspace
to legacy, homegrown systems and create engaging micro applications
and micro automation using low-code tooling.
“With Citrix, we have a partner on our side who covers all the
important issues around delivering applications, desktops and
data,” said Bernd Dausch, Chief Technical Officer Datacenter,
Schuster & Walther IT-Kanzlei GmbH. “In the next few years, the
demand for automated workflows and intelligent tools will continue
to grow in law firms. With Citrix Workspace, we can address these
exact issues.”
Using Citrix Workspace, companies can remove the complexity from
work and create a highly personalized experience that enables
employees to be their most productive and use the special skills
they were hired for to create value. And this is exactly what
Citrix partners like Fujitsu are aiming to help them do.
“The intelligent feed and personalized workflows that Citrix has
brought to market today are truly innovative and will bolster our
ability to help companies deliver a simple, consumer-like work
experience that enhances their employee experience and in turn,
their business,” said Tim White, Corporate Executive Officer, SVP,
Head of Global Delivery Group, Fujitsu.
