The traditional 9-to-5 job looks a lot different today, and for many, there’s less sitting at a desk in an office building. Although some executives and employees in sales and customer success have always needed flexibility, many companies have adopted mobile and hybrid work styles for most if not all of their workforce.
What’s behind the change? The pandemic, the influx of a new generation in the workforce, and more employees who need to work on the go and stay productive, no matter where they are.
Users now expect to be able to access corporate applications on the move and at their desk, all while having access to an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, and audio devices. They also require a device powerful enough to deliver the performance necessary for accessing corporate applications, with a large display to perform business-critical work.
In recent years, tablet devices such as iPads have become more prevalent in the enterprise because of their convenience and larger screens. Apple’s newest tablets offer displays that are nearly 13-inches, and they are much lighter compared to laptops. They also come equipped with a powerful processor and memory to deliver high performance.
When combined with Citrix Workspace app, users can access their Windows-based apps and desktops on the device, providing enterprise capabilities with a great user experience. With external monitor, keyboard and mouse supported; users can truly transform their iPads with Citrix Workspace app into a full-scale workstation. Read more about it here.
New Feature Support
Apple has steadily added more enterprise-class features into iPadOS, and Citrix Workspace app has been at the forefront of supporting each release at launch so our customers can take advantage of the latest and greatest features immediately.
Previously, Apple only allowed mirror mode when connected to an external monitor. The recent iPad OS 16.2 release includes an exciting new feature — Native Non-Mirror Extend Display — and we are pleased to announce Citrix Workspace app supports this beginning with the 22.12.0 release!
With this support, users can drag and drop Citrix Workspace app onto an external monitor and run their virtual desktop or application on the external monitor in full screen, leaving the iPad screen free to run other native apps.
Get Started
There’s more to come. At Citrix, we continue to work closely with Apple to provide the best experience possible for our enterprise users. Keep up with the latest Citrix Workspace app updates, and share your feedback as you try the new enhancements!
