  • Modern Tools to Keep Smbs Connected and Productive How to Equip Your Team for Success
    Modern tools to keep SMBs connected and productive How to equip your team for success INHOUSECIO.COM SOLUTIONS BRIEF Teams don’t connect personally and share ideas enough these days, especially as more teams become dispersed and travel budgets remain minimal. This disconnect can significantly affect the quality of work that gets done and the time required to complete it. For too long, rigid collaboration tools have held us back from doing our best work, no matter our location. The phone and email are inefficient and lead to confusion and wasted time, but no one will adopt a more advanced tool if it’s difficult to use. What’s left is a world where it’s hard for remote teammates to effectively collaborate and produce without constant meetings. The modern answer to effective collaboration between dispersed team members is a comprehensive set of tools, tools that are easy to use both on their own and together. Citrix collaboration tools offer solutions to an array of collaboration requirements, including meeting online, sharing and accessing large files and keeping track of projects and people—all while seamlessly working together. Meeting online with GoToMeeting To effectively work together, your team needs to be able to communicate at any given time. Getting everyone into the same conference room is usually expensive or inconvenient, or both, so more and more businesses are taking meetings online. High-definition video conferencing from GoToMeeting allows your team to meet online and talk as if you were in the same room. With just a click or a tap, you get the non-verbal communication and relationship building of in-person meetings without the inconvenience of expensive travel costs or relocating to the office.

  • Guidelines for Deploying Citrix BYOD Solutions
    Bring-Your-Own Device Technical White Paper Guidelines for deploying Citrix BYOD solutions citrix.com/byod Bring-Your-Own Device Technical White Paper 2 IT organizations are being challenged as we transition from the PC era to the cloud era because the rules and assumptions have changed. Consumerization is expected to be the single greatest trend impacting IT over the next decade. As executives, employees and contractors bring their own devices into the workplace, managing them is a daunting task for IT. IT meets consumerization Today’s IT systems that were designed and built in the PC era are based on some old assumptions: that people work in a corporate facility, are assigned to a specific workspace, use a corporate-issued PC and attach it to a wired network. These assumptions have led many IT organizations to treat people using their own personal devices, wireless networks, micro-apps and cloud services as exceptions to the status quo. At Citrix®, we believe these PC era exceptions are the new assumptions of the cloud era, where workers are mobile, carry multiple devices and connect over wireless networks. To address consumerization, it has become increasingly important to transform systems designed for the PC era to meet the needs of the cloud era. Key factors include workers’ desire to use consumer device with capabilities that have surpassed corporate issued device standards for work. In addition, the sheer number and diversity of devices that employees and contractors are using are exploding. In response, organizations are adopting bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies. In this technical white paper we discuss BYOD challenges and present a Citrix solution and architecture that enable people to bring their own devices to work.
