About three years ago, my wife and I made the decision to leave the hustle and bustle of life in Seattle and move to the much smaller mountain town of Bend, Oregon. The ability to embrace the great outdoors and to have more space and a bit slower pace of life was a great draw. But I also wondered about the things I might miss. Restaurants and friends, for sure. But also not having the Citrix office as a place to work and collaborate with my colleagues — and how that might affect my ability to productively do my job.
Fortunately for me, Citrix has long helped customers enable their employees to work effectively from anywhere. That combined with Citrix’s partnership with Google Cloud gave me a complete set of tools to not miss a beat as I quickly transitioned to 100 percent work from home.
Many of our customers have had to react quickly to enable and support remote work and to protect the health and well-being of their employees. Together, Citrix and Google Cloud are helping enterprises contribute to flattening the curve with joint solutions that enable large groups of employees to work from home quickly, securely, and productively.
Since stay-at-home orders started broadly, customers have successfully used the Citrix and Google Cloud stack to move users quickly to work from home. In one recent case, a joint customer leveraged Citrix Workspace on Google Cloud delivered to Chromebooks to move business-critical call center employees from one location to 1,600 different, productive home offices in under a week.
Learn more about other joint customer success stories using Citrix and Google Cloud to securely scale their business while keeping employees productive and engaged, no matter the disruption:
- Neste Oil leverages secure access to Citrix Workspace on GCP to ensure the productivity of their employees around the world while helping them be a truly sustainable company.
- Middlesex Hospital relies on the security of Citrix and Chrome Enterprise, whether responding to a 911 call or tracking patient care.
- Oncology Venture, a cancer research technology company, simplifies enterprise-grade VDI with Citrix Workspace on Google Cloud; for securing patient data to provide predictive cancer treatment based on a patient’s DNA.
- eSilicon, a semiconductor manufacturer, successfully developed a new workflow and engineering process. This makes it easier to deliver integrated circuts design for semiconductors, enhancing employee experience and productivity using Citrix with Google Cloud.
Concerns about remote work’s impact on productivity are understandable. I had them myself when I left the office for good three years ago. But as our CEO David Henshall shared recently, a survey of our customers shows almost 80 percent of them believe their employees may be more effective working from home.
Citrix and Google Cloud are committed to leading the way in helping companies ensure this trend continues for their employees. Learn more about our joint solutions and how easy they are to deploy, secure, and help keep your employees as productive from home as they were in the office.
