Welcome to the sixth installment of our Seven Ways to Simplify Your Digital Workspace Deployment blog series. In this blog post, we are going to look at how to simplify a unified workspace. (Keep reading to find links to the other installments in our series in partnership with Nutanix.)
In the past, end users only needed virtual apps and desktops to get their work done, but today’s reality is very different. There has been a proliferation of web and SaaS apps that end users need. Additionally, end users need access to their files and data. Citrix Workspace provides users with access to SaaS apps, web apps, Windows apps, Linux apps, desktops, and data from any device. It provides a unified experience with SSO regardless of where your apps are hosted. This enables users to maximize their productivity and to work anywhere, from any device.
Let’s take a look from the user perspective on everything available with Citrix Workspace.
End users have the flexibility of logging into their workspace through a browser or through the locally installed Citrix Workspace app, which is available for Android, Chrome OS, HTML5, iOS, Linux, Mac, and Windows. Depending on how the administrators have configured Citrix Workspace, end users will authenticate using their credentials. Citrix Workspace enables administrators to pick a primary identity from multiple options. Even though many of the services provided to the user require an identity different from the user’s primary workspace identity, Citrix Workspace is able to provide SSO access.

Once users are authenticated into their workspace they are able to see the different resources provided by their administrators. Through microapps, administrators can deliver relevant, actionable notifications combined with intuitive workflows. This allows users to save time by reducing context switching and eliminating the need to learn how to use different applications. Additionally, end users have access to actions that are user-initiated activities taken within the microapps that then provide input to the business applications. Learn more about Citrix Workspace and microapps.
Through Citrix Workspace, administrators can provide access to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. With Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service, administrators can securely deliver high-performance Windows and Linux applications on any endpoint. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service allows you to manage on-premises data center and public cloud workloads together in a hybrid environment.

Finally, end users need access to their files. Citrix Content Collaboration allows administrators to provide business-class file sharing, streamlined workflows, and real-time collaboration. Citrix Files not only allows users to access those files anywhere on any device, it also makes file sharing easier and more secure.
With Citrix Workspace, administrators can enable their end users to be productive anywhere and have the flexibility they need. Citrix Workspace is a complete digital workspace solution that delivers secure access to information, apps, and other content that is relevant to that person’s role and organization.
