Today at Citrix
Synergy™, Citrix announced a new release of its Citrix
XenMobile® enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution and a
technology preview of new WorxNotes™, WorxEdit™ and WorxDesktop™
workflow-driven mobile productivity apps. The new XenMobile release
includes significant enhancements to user experience, platform security
and support, as well as management integrations that improve scalability
and speed time to value for business. The new workflow-driven mobile
productivity apps from Citrix are key business apps with intelligent
integrations that seamlessly work together, resulting in a simple and
intuitive user experience. For example, people can join a meeting
directly from their calendar, take notes and distribute them to all
participants with just a few simple taps. As a result, mobile employees
can be more productive on their tablets and phones, while IT retains
control.
Mobility is a top priority for virtually every organization, from
healthcare providers to government institutions, as evidenced by
XenMobile’s more than 100 percent year-on-year growth in Q1 FY2014. In
order to stay agile and drive business growth, today’s organizations are
recognizing the need to securely deliver mobile
workspaces that provide all the business tools and information their
employees need to be productive in the office and on the go. Over 85
percent of Citrix Mobile Platform customers are choosing integrated EMM
offerings versus standalone MDM technologies, because they recognize the
urgency for securing and delivering more intelligent and intuitive apps
to effectively mobilize their workforce. XenMobile now offers the
industry’s most complete family of secure workflow-driven mobile
productivity apps for business.

WorxMail™ & WorxWeb™ Enhancements - Adds new, intuitive
