In the current era of hybrid work, businesses are constantly looking to optimize operational costs while addressing challenges such as increased cybersecurity risks and loss of control over IT governance. Amid these concerns, finding suitable business solutions that meet specific requirements and enhance the employee experience can be quite overwhelming.

In response to this, Citrix and Google ChromeOS have partnered with various technology solution providers for a seamless integration with Citrix DaaS/VDI and ChromeOS. This collaboration is designed to adapt to the growing demand for anytime, anywhere data access.

Strengthening Businesses with Citrix DaaS and ChromeOS

Through Citrix DaaS/VDI and Google ChromeOS, our goal is to establish the most desirable hybrid cloud infrastructure that works immediately upon implementation. Following the latest Citrix strategy where the hybrid model is the target, we offer the flexibility to choose from a vast selection of endpoints, applications, and peripherals. This allows existing systems to be updated for modern workspaces for both on-site and cloud use. Consequently, our customers are able to choose solutions that optimize return on investment while reducing operational and capital expenses.

For this to be achievable, it’s crucial to have a balanced combination of industry-specific products and solutions. As such, we’ve validated numerous technologies that suit specific sectors such as healthcare and contact centers.

Below is an overview of the events and validations we conducted in the first half of 2023 to kickstart our strategic collaboration.

Healthcare Solutions via Citrix DaaS and ChromeOS

According to Acumen Research and Consulting, the global Healthcare Cloud Computing market is projected to hit USD 40 billion by 2026, with an impressive 14% CAGR. This underscores the eagerness of the healthcare industry to leverage the advantages of hybrid workspaces.

Therefore, to assist doctors and health IT professionals in reaching this goal, Citrix DaaS and Google ChromeOS offer flexible cloud solutions that address the rising infrastructural costs, security concerns, data accessibility issues, and other barriers that hinder the healthcare industry’s progress.

Check out our latest validations and solutions that are revolutionizing the operations of the healthcare industry.

Moreover, Citrix and Google were present at HIMSS 2023, highlighting the integration of ChromeOS and Citrix DaaS and demonstrating the immense benefits for the healthcare sector. Goliath Technologies also joined us, announcing their performance monitoring solution for ChromeOS for Citrix users.

Citrix and ChromeOS Solutions for Contact Centers

Delivering an exceptional customer experience is essential for business growth, and this often starts at contact centers – the first point of contact for many customers.

Citrix and ChromeOS work in tandem to equip contact center agents with unified views and adaptable workflows validated for success. Our hybrid workspaces with validated endpoints, peripherals, and applications streamline overall operations, enable improved customer experiences, and boost performance.

Key IdP Solutions for Citrix DaaS and ChromeOS

With the rising trend of remote work, it’s crucial for businesses to ensure compatibility across various endpoints and peripherals while maintaining data security beyond managed environments.

To simplify the process for end users managing multiple applications, we offer SSO and MFA IdP solutions as part of our integrated ecosystem. This allows users to access their apps and data quickly with a single password, while IT administrators can minimize the risk of data breaches.

Successful validation with Azure Active Directory, Imprivata OneSign for SSO, Okta Verify as IdP for MFA, and Citrix Gateway as IdP has been a game-changer for our customers, providing both superior security and convenience.

Monitoring Tool Support from Citrix and ChromeOS

Proactive monitoring and issue diagnosis before they become a threat are crucial for maintaining productivity in businesses. It’s equally important to ensure a consistent user experience while introducing new integrations and solutions within existing workspaces.

To this end, monitoring tools are critical for the successful implementation and operation of ChromeOS devices within Citrix infrastructure.

Citrix and ChromeOS have teamed up with Goliath Technologies, promoting their new solution, Goliath Performance Monitor. This tool helps gather and analyze data from various sources, identifies the root cause of user experience issues, and alerts IT professionals accordingly.

Goliath provides a comprehensive view of Google ChromeOS device health, Citrix Delivery Infrastructure, and user experience. This allows for timely resolutions, smooth business operations, and optimal security levels.
