As more companies support hybrid and remote work, the importance of the tools they provide workers to communicate and collaborate, regardless of location, continues to grow. In 2020, solutions like Microsoft Teams saw dramatic increases in usage as more organizations made it central to their digital experience strategy.
While the Citrix Workspace app is a compelling personal productivity solution and can dramatically speed workflows and avoid time confetti, allowing organizations to choose the experience that fits them best is a hallmark of Citrix technology. And now, organizations that make Teams their central portal for employees can leverage Citrix Workspace and create powerful, customized, and focused user experiences with the Citrix Workspace app, available in Microsoft Teams.
With the Citrix Workspace app accessible in the Microsoft Teams UI, users can access key collaborative Citrix Workspace workflows without leaving Microsoft Teams. The Citrix Workspace app for Microsoft Teams centralizes the core tools and resources a worker needs to collaborate with individuals and teams throughout their day, including sharing files and viewing documents in a channel.
Not only that, but users can share documents from multiple repositories and even preview a shared file in Microsoft Teams using Citrix Workspace. They can make use of any Citrix Workspace action on shared files in Microsoft Teams.
For administrators, this integrated experience enables them to create a unified experience across Microsoft Teams and Citrix Workspace. They can still take advantage of Workspace as well as connect to additional document repositories while centralizing on the Microsoft Teams experience. This is a win/win for both users and administrators. Users save time with access to all they need in one location, with the ability to collaborate in Microsoft Teams on documents from Citrix Workspace. Meanwhile, admins get all the additional security options and don’t have to migrate content.
Together Microsoft Teams and Citrix Workspace extend productivity and security by leveraging the strengths of both platforms within a single environment. Microsoft Teams connects your employees, while Citrix Workspace enables them to collaborate on all their work, regardless if they’re managed by cloud or on-prem resources. When combined, your employees can do their best work, with minimal distractions and context switching.
