Citrix Workspace is an all-in-one digital workspace solution that allows employees to securely access company apps and data in one central platform. Instead of having one computer with access to a set of applications and another mobile device having access to another set of applications, users have a single interface that provides them access to all of their applications, corporate data, files, and apps on any device, network, or location. Citrix Workspace is a cloud workspace that provides a straightforward work interface, simplifying administration and monitoring.
Citrix Workspace helps companies implement remote work by providing employees a digital workspace they can access anywhere. Companies can make a rapid recovery even when unanticipated disruptions occur, as remote teams can easily pick up work where they left off and continue meeting the needs of customers. The friendly interface provides a consistent experience across platforms. The universal search quickly locates documents in the cloud, within an app, or on a user’s desktop.
Unified endpoint management gives companies the tools to promote mobile productivity. Users can download the Citrix Workspace app, an easy-to-install client software that provides seamless, secure access to everything users need to get work done. Versions are available for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome, and HTML5.

Enhanced Business Security
Citrix Workspace offers an alternative to virtual private networks (VPN) with strict zero trust security. Instead of using multiple VPNs that increase the attack surface, Workspace provides access at the application layer to securely deliver apps and data without exposing network assets to external discovery. It provides additional options to scramble keystrokes and protect against screenshot malware. Advanced contextual access management for IT include tools to disable printing, copying, and pasting in certain scenarios; isolate web traffic from corporate networks; and bring your own device (BYOD) options.
Simplified IT Processes
Citrix Workspace allows IT to create microapps using out-of-the-box integrations. Users can choose from over 100 microapp workflows; these are small and specific key actions employees use in their day-to-day work, so they can get work done faster without IT needing to build complex APIs. They can create custom workflows in minutes, creating increased efficiency with minimal cost.
The digital workspace also lets IT move to the cloud and store workloads at their own pace, whether in full or hybrid implementation. It allows users to access every app, desktop, and file with single sign on (SSO), eliminating the need for multiple passwords. Other features include usage policies, bandwidth prioritization, and seamless migration to Microsoft 365.

Citrix Workspace Case Studies
Patrick Babic works for an international energy services and solutions company that was looking for a cloud-first solution to replace their on-premise virtual desktop infrastructure. Although functional, the current setup was costly and difficult to scale, taking four months to purchase and deploy hardware every time they needed to expand. By adopting Citrix Workspace and moving the virtual desktop to the cloud, frontline staff got a unified desktop experience to provide customers continuing service. At the same time, IT was able to streamline the management processes and realize greater flexibility, cost savings, and carbon reductions.
