Corporate IT at EBSCO empowers end users across more than 40 unique businesses with Citrix

As a global corporation with businesses including outdoor brands, informational services, real estate, and manufacturing, the EBSCO Industries IT team needed to support the broad application portfolio and multiple cloud vendors its businesses use. Citrix Workspace and Citrix Networking solutions enabled IT to deliver flexible, secure access to applications, powering EBSCO’s digital transformation. Users now get a great experience and access to their choice of apps on any device.

Managing diverse IT needs during a company-wide digital transformation

As a 40-business conglomerate, EBSCO faced a sprawling IT landscape with diverse technology needs across each business unit. Supporting legacy applications while expanding into cloud platforms created huge management and security challenges. Even the shortest lapse in application availability could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost productivity. EBSCO needed a solution that would simplify app management across business units, and allow each team to choose the apps it wanted to use.

Delivering access to legacy and cloud-based apps on any device

Working with a trusted technology provider, EBSCO simplified its IT strategy with Citrix Workspace and Citrix Networking solutions. Now, EBSCO can provide any-device access to legacy and cloud-based apps across each EBSCO business unit. This provides users with a choice of business apps and devices—all while protecting EBSCO’s data in the company’s secure cloud or inside its data center.

A flexible and secure platform to manage digital transformation without compromise

EBSCO now has a flexible platform to manage applications across its international businesses. This makes it easier to transition business units to using apps in the cloud, and ensures greater application reliability and security. By unifying EBSCO’s digital environment, Citrix helps empower EBSCO employees to do their best work on the apps and devices they choose.
 

With Citrix Workspace, customers or our employees can access their applications from any device, from anywhere and have a similar experience.
