Positive Steps Rises to Remote Work Challenge With Citrix

Non-profit goes virtual to continue delivering
critical services to families and children in face of COVID-19
These are anxious times – particularly for families struggling
with housing, money, parenting, work and health-related issues. And
the services that Positive Steps provides to support them across
Greater Manchester, United Kingdom are critical. When COVID-19
struck and remote work became a mandate, the non-profit
organization had to figure out a way to continue operating without
missing a beat. And it found one in Citrix Systems, Inc.
(NASDAQ:CTXS). Leveraging the company’s digital workspace
solutions, Positive Steps was able to quickly provide access to all
of the tools and applications its employees need to work from home
and deliver the usual support the organization is known for in a
highly unusual environment.
Adapting to the Times
“We understand this is a worrying time, but we have adapted and
are now working in a more flexible way that allows us to provide
support to the community in these rapidly changing and difficult
times,” said Garry O'Driscoll, Senior Infrastructure Analyst,
Corporate Services, Positive Steps. “Whilst we are undertaking
face-to-face contact with our clients only where this is absolutely
essential, we are still delivering our full range of services using
video interviews, online resources, chat facilities and more.”
And it’s doing so through Citrix Workspace. With Citrix
Workspace, companies can give employees access to all of the SaaS,
web and mobile apps they prefer to use in one unified experience
and IT teams a single control plane through which they can onboard
and manage application performance without getting in the way.
Over the past six months, Positive Steps has been provisioning
virtual desktops and has deployed 150 Chromebooks so that its staff
can access their Citrix workspaces while out in the community and
at home.
Driving Business as Usual
“When we decided to close our office, it was a seamless
transition with no problems at all,” Garry O’Driscoll said. “I’m
certain many IT departments are in dire straits following this
unexpected pandemic, but thanks to our access to Citrix, we were
prepared and it’s business as usual.”
