William Fry Delivers Secure Work Experience with Citrix

Law firm leverages Citrix Workspace to keep
employees engaged and productive, systems and data safe
As IT manager for William Fry, a top-tier corporate law firm,
Oisin Concannon is obsessed with security. “Our data is our
client's data. We have to treat it with the utmost care,” he says.
Yet Concannon and his team must also answer calls from the firm’s
increasingly mobile employees to access this data when and where
they need it to deliver the superior service its clients around the
world have come to expect. It’s a dilemma all IT organizations
face. And one that William Fry is solving using digital workspace
solutions from Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS).
A People-First Approach
“A consistent, high-performance desktop experience is central to
William Fry’s vision for technology,” Concannon says. “Our lawyers
travel regularly, and are very sensitive to any kind of delay or
slow performance.”
Using Citrix Workspace, William Fry is able to deliver unified
access to the tools and applications that its employees need and
prefer to use to get work done remotely, and dynamically apply
security policies based on a user’s behavior and environment to
ensure that client information and applications remain secure.
A “Secure Bubble”
“It's like a secure bubble where everything happens,” Concannon
says. “Whether people are working in the office or remotely,
they're always on the Citrix virtual desktop which runs from our
datacenter. When people are accessing documents from our system or
receiving emails, there’s no data going down to the laptop. It all
happens within Citrix. So if someone's in a coffee shop and their
laptop gets stolen, there's nothing actually on it.”
With Citrix Endpoint Management, William Fry can securely manage
the full array of endpoints—smartphones, tablets, laptops,
desktops, thin-clients, and IoT devices—in an efficient manner,
delivering operating systems and rolling out updates all without
having to see or touch a single screen. “We’re using it on our
iPhones and iPads to provide secure email and access to internal
sites from those devices,” Concannon says.
ShareFile First
Given the sensitivity of data that employees manage, William Fry
also uses Citrix’s ShareFile, which leverages bank-level encryption
to protect files, emails and attachments in transit and at rest.
“We have a ShareFile first policy,” Concannon says. “If employees
want to share something with a client, they have to use ShareFile
because, by its nature, it’s much more secure.”
Steady as they Go
Connecting employees with the tools, applications and
information they need to do their best work wherever they happen to
be has always been a priority for William Fry. When the COVID-19
pandemic began to spread around the globe and remote work became a
mandate, it became even more critical. But the firm was
prepared.
“Citrix has always been central to our business continuity
strategy,” Concannon says. “When we had a big ‘Snowmageddon’ a few
years ago, everyone simply stayed at home; secretaries, lawyers,
everyone. We had no concern about securing individual home PCs
because everything happened within the secure Citrix bubble and our
staff was able to access the same, familiar desktop in the same way
as if they were in the office.”
