In an age where digital transformation shapes every aspect of business, Citrix is thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking addition to its suite of productivity tools: Notate, developed by Shafer Systems in partnership with Citrix. This comprehensive PDF and Office document suite is designed to cater to the dynamic needs of the modern enterprise, offering secure, seamless collaboration across any document from any device.

Notate stands out as a comprehensive solution for document management and collaboration, offering robust features that rival Microsoft and Adobe’s tools but at a fraction of the cost. Its integration with corporate networks –

  • Ensures secure synchronization and backup of documents and notes,
  • Empowers teams with confidence in their data’s integrity and availability.

What makes Notate unique and special with Citrix Endpoint Management

Secured out-of-the-box: Notate has been developed with security in mind. It leverages Citrix MAM SDK for Android and iOS to allow Citrix Endpoint Management, cloud and on-premises, customers to have peace of mind that their documents and data are secured. Notate includes data loss prevention (DLP) controls, and it supports Citrix’s best-in-class microVPN technology to protect the data-in-motion with NetScaler. Lastly, end users can securely access documents from Citrix Mobile Productivity apps like Citrix Secure Mail and Citrix Secure Web, since they are part of the same secured MAM SDK ecosystem.

ShareFile support: Notate’s uniqueness is its ability to integrate with ShareFile file repositories. Whether customers utilize ShareFile in the cloud or on-premises, Notate allows end users to access their documents securely, edit them, and save the changes back to its source location.

Citrix QuickEdit replacement: Customers looking to replace Citrix QuickEdit mobile app (deprecated on July 31, 2022), Notate delivers the same security (thanks to MAM SDK) and richer editing capabilities to make your mobile users more productive anywhere. 

Empowering end users to do more with less: Notate is simple. From one application, end users can securely access and navigate through their file repository, like ShareFile, open Office documents and collaborate with their peers. There is no need to install and maintain separate Microsoft 365 apps nor individual Office 365 apps on mobile devices.

Transforming Workflows with Notate

Notate’s suite enables users to annotate, sign, create, and edit PDF and Office documents with ease, enhancing document analysis and communication. Its digital paper functionality goes beyond traditional note-taking, allowing users to capture, organize, and easily retrieve a wide range of information and media. The direct integration with corporate email streamlines the workflow for editing and sharing email attachments, significantly improving productivity for tasks like document annotation and agreement signing.

Collaboration Elevated

The partnership with Citrix brings new features that integrate directly with ShareFile, allowing access to corporate file shares for editing and saving documents within a single application. This eliminates the need for multiple applications to manage documents, creating a unified workflow that enhances efficiency.

Moreover, the addition of Office editors to Notate enables the editing of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files directly from the app. This integration facilitates seamless document management workflows, allowing users to edit and save documents back into corporate repositories without leaving Notate.

A Unified Solution for Diverse Needs

Notate is designed to adapt to various sectors, including legal services, finance and banking, and government, providing a tailored experience that meets specific industry requirements. Its compatibility with major operating systems and devices ensures that teams can collaborate effectively, regardless of their location or chosen platform.

Our commitment to outstanding support means that users have direct access to the engineers who built Notate, ensuring any queries or integration needs are promptly addressed.

Conclusion

The partnership between Citrix and Notate heralds a new standard in enterprise productivity, combining secure document management with efficient collaboration tools. This integration promises to streamline workflows, enhance data security, and foster a more connected and productive work environment for Citrix customers. Embrace the future of work with Notate and experience unparalleled efficiency and collaboration.
