    Deliver secure digital workspaces with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops on Microsoft Azure Technology and dispersion: Shaping the modern workplace Where, when, and how people work has dramatically changed. Remote work trends are here to stay while fewer employees than ever before are working full-time in traditional offices. This distributed world has forced additional IT demands on your business. It is now essential that IT solutions unite the modern workplace, not hinder it. IT needs to foster employee engagement and collaboration—while enabling dispersed teams, decentralized workplaces, and off-premises IT infrastructure. The consumerization of IT that started over a decade ago has firmly shaped our expectations of what business technology should provide. Employees expect on-demand access to virtually any kind of content from any device, whenever it’s needed. The traditional way individuals, as well as teams, interact and collaborate for business has fundamentally been altered. To maximize employee productivity, businesses need to enhance their capability to provide secure, remote access to a modern digital 74 percent of companies workspace—on any device. The right modern workspace solution plan to shift some of their employees to remote unites the various elements that make up today’s distributed business working permanently.1 environment—its workforce, devices, and technology.

Why can’t I instantly access all my work-related data, files, and apps, as well as connect with my work colleagues as easily as I do with friends?2 When 2020 ushered in unexpected remote work mandates, these pains only became exasperated.
