Citrix: A Leader in Mobility, Virtualization, Networking and Cloud Services

The future of mobile is incremental innovation with a transformational impact.” – Reijo Pold.

Over the past decade, a number of technology trends including cloud, mobile, and now the evolution of software-defined environments are changing the role of IT in business. Networks, desktops, data, and even in-person meetings have all been decoupled from physical locations and transformed into fully digital mobile workspaces that provide complete business mobility. Citrix is leading the transition to software-defining the workplace, reinventing how people connect with ideas and how processes and facilities are designed to enable new ways for businesses and people to work.

The company was founded in 1989 with a far-reaching dream to invent technologies that would give people the freedom to work the way they wanted. Over the last 25 years, Citrix has held steadfast to this dream, listening carefully about business challenges and anticipating the future. Today, the company is at the epicenter of the mobile and cloud revolution. Its products span virtualization, networking, cloud and mobility, enabling people to work and collaborate anywhere, anytime and on any device. It powers business mobility through secure, mobile workspaces that provide people with instant access to apps, desktops, data and communications on any device, over any network and cloud. When people choose how, where and when work happens, they become empowered and businesses can innovate like never before.

In this new era, work is no longer a place – it’s something you do anywhere when inspiration strikes. This is better for people, better for IT and better for business. Through innovation, commitment and a compelling vision of the future of work, Citrix is making a difference every day at thousands of organizations in every corner of the globe. What Citrix does is more than a game changer; it’s a life changer.
