Remote work isn’t just a temporary adjustment to unusual circumstances — it’s a mainstay of modern operations.

For employees, the shift offers more flexibility and convenience; for businesses, it means greater flexibility and resilience in the way the workforce is deployed and empowered. But for IT, remote work can bring new challenges around secure productivity, governance, and compliance. It’s time to make your plan for the Next Normal.

The Way We Work Now — and What It Means for IT

According to a recent Citrix global survey of IT,

  • 75 percent of IT leaders believe a majority of workers will not return to previous office-based work
  • 70 percent of IT leaders are worried about information security as a result of employees working from home
  • 62 percent of IT leaders are considering downsizing physical IT infrastructure and transitioning to a cloud model

Taken together, these trends highlight the need to modernize IT — and to do so as expediently as possible. Fortunately, you don’t have to start from scratch. Cloud-based Citrix Workspace services offer a comprehensive foundation to:

  • Drive IT modernization with a familiar, high-quality, and easily adopted experience for users, delivered via the cloud
  • Support all device types, giving you the flexibility needed for employee-friendly policies like BYOD
  • Build secure productivity, compliance, and governance into your business continuity strategy for the long term

Cloud — Now More Than Ever

In many ways, the rapid shift to remote work has only accelerated trends that were already well under way. That’s especially true of cloud services. Beyond merely helping newly remote workers get by, a solution like Citrix Workspace offers new ways of working that make sense in any circumstances. With Citrix Workspace, employees can log in securely from any device to access all of the apps, content, and data they need to do their best work. A personalized workflow minimizes distractions so they’re more productive and engaged — driving better business results. Meanwhile, IT gets more visibility and control for simplified management, security, and compliance.

Citrix Workspace is designed to allow staged flexible adoption your own way, at your own pace. You can expand your existing Citrix investment with a seamlessly scalable, cost-efficient hybrid approach that accommodates remote workers while adding new capabilities like VPN-less access control, endpoint management, and analytics to your on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops infrastructure. Employees accessing both cloud-based and on-premises services get the same high-performance, secure experience, and you can manage the whole environment simply through a single point of control.
