Cloud transformation is certainly nothing new. For years, organizations in every industry have been developing a measured approach to cloud adoption — seeking a more effective IT operating model and a more efficient way to deliver applications and IT resources.
Yet, the recent global crisis has elevated the need for greater agility and scalability in every aspect of business. As a result, a growing number of companies are accelerating their cloud transformation efforts to prepare for the next inevitable unplanned event or opportunity.
In our Citrix Cloud Summit, customers from the energy services, healthcare, and software industries share their firsthand stories of their unique cloud transformation efforts, their lessons learned, and how the shift has helped them be more agile to ensure business continuity, keep employees connected and productive, and deliver improved service to their customers.
Centrica
Multinational energy services and solutions company Centrica has implemented a cloud-first strategy that has helped it scale rapidly when it needed to most. The adoption of Windows Virtual Desktop with Citrix Cloud services empowered Centrica with unparalleled flexibility. Today, they can quickly and efficiently give employees access to the tools they need to do their work, no matter where they are. And when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, they were ready and able to move thousands of employees to remote work and scale to accommodate them all, without affecting the end-user experience.
Cloud technology is also helping Centrica to reduce its carbon footprint. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated plans to move to the cloud and enabled tens of thousands of employees to shift to working from home. Leveraging Citrix cloud technology to scale remote work for its diverse workforce will be key to Centrica achieving its sustainability goals, as well as to ensuring employees, no matter where they are, have a great experience.

Mass General Brigham
The COVID-19 pandemic sped Mass General Brigham’s plans for how it delivers health care services. The integrated health system, which serves the entire New England region, is using Citrix’s cloud technology to help provide more than a quarter million virtual visits for patients each month. About one-third of its 78,000 employees are working remotely and leveraging Citrix Workspace to access critical resources, deliver patient care, and get work done.
From delivering electronic health records to setting up a field hospital in a few days to serve COVID-19 patients and others, Mass General Brigham has used Citrix technology to ensure high quality health care in the communities it serves. Delivering health care services in the future will demand the flexibility, scalability, and resiliency that Citrix can support, whether it’s on premises, cloud, or a mix of both.

Autodesk
Cloud isn’t just a technology that helps organizations to ensure resiliency and to maintain operations in times of crisis. It also enables them to seize new opportunities and to take new approaches to business. Software company Autodesk makes digital tools that help customers bring anything they can imagine to life.
