Productivity and innovative thinking are key enablers of profitability in today’s hyper-competitive business environment.

Your people are your organization’s most valuable asset. In fact, they are your very business. So, getting the most from them while also ensuring satisfying worker experiences is a key goal. And enabling them to think freely and work together effectively is essential to achieving that.

In a world where digital transformation is happening everywhere, where every business is thinking and rethinking its operations, over and over again, and always looking for new ways to innovate, how you apply your human resources is crucial. Indeed, how your people are enabled to think creatively about your operations, and work together, might well be your best way to increase revenues or cut costs, or even completely disrupt your market.

“Now, more than ever before, workers are the most valuable asset for any organization, but businesses continue to face new and existing challenges in successfully implementing the tools and technologies that foster real collaboration and productivity,” said Michelle Seneca de Fonseca, VP Cloud Innovation Strategic Partners at Citrix.

Enable Your Employees and Improve Workplace Cooperation

As the working world has been shaken up over the last few years, remote working models have become far more common and widespread. That has forced organizations to deliver on three important goals.

Provide High-Quality Collaboration Tools and a Great Employee Experience

With the move toward distributed workforces, remote workers need to be able to work from anywhere and enjoy high-quality user experiences. They need powerful collaboration tools that help them interact with other remote workers as well as their office-based colleagues. Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and desktop as a service (DaaS) technologies have more than fulfilled their original promise and continue to be developed further to offer even more.

Citrix can provide highly advanced software that gives your people consistent, high-quality user experiences, no matter where they’re based. Users can have access to all the tools they expected in the office and more. Now, for example, you can give users access to secure unified communications tools that are more advanced than ever through Citrix HDX optimization for Microsoft Teams.

Help Your Organization Work Effectively in the Cloud

Global infrastructure services provider Kyndryl can enable those tools to work on a worldwide scale via the cloud. Digital transformation and migration to the cloud — whether on-premises, public, or hybrid — is the second important way to enable your remote workers to be as productive and creative as possible.

As well as helping you to tie together your multiple implementations of VDI or DaaS services on a global platform, you can more easily integrate your existing business applications — and any new ones that you develop — with them. That means you can run your operating processes in new and imaginative ways, and also make more creative decisions about how to help your workforce make the greatest contribution.

Ensure Maximum Security from Today’s Online Threats

As you implement all these new technologies, you need to remain ever vigilant to the risk of cybercrime. All your cloud services need to be secured on a single, unified, and fully integrated digital workspace. That’s the third challenge. Achieving this for yourself brings major headaches. Experts in digital security are in short supply and can command high fees. Moreover, it’s simply very difficult to implement and then maintain digital platforms at peak security.

The Kyndryl and Citrix Global Alliance

This month, Kyndryl — the world’s largest IT infrastructure services provider — has made an important announcement about the continuation of its global alliance with Citrix to help your business improve workplace collaboration and employee productivity.

The alliance extends Kyndryl’s framework of flexible workplace modernization services designed and deployed for Citrix’s core technologies. And these include comprehensive managed services for desktop and application virtualization. Your employees can have secure, remote access to your corporate assets from any device or location, while also enjoying outstanding user experiences. This is all based on cloud technologies and protected by state-of-the-art security as standard.

“Kyndryl and Citrix have worked side-by-side as longstanding partners for nearly two decades, and we’re thrilled to continue growing our relationship and customer offerings with Citrix,” said Ivan Dopplé, General Manager, Kyndryl Digital Workplace Services Global Practice

“With Kyndryl, our combined workplace solutions and skills have the unmatched ability to provide tangible impact and growth for our customers and their employees alike,” said Michelle Senecal De Fonseca of Citrix.

Citrix and Kyndryl have a long history of successful engagement and bringing value to large enterprise customers in key industries, particularly banking/finance, healthcare, the public sector, manufacturing, and retail.

Both Citrix and Kyndryl have always been highly focused on helping global customers deliver modern workplace experiences to maximize both productivity and creativity. Helping employees to work together as efficiently as possible is one of the best ways of helping your business think smarter. In turn, that enables business agility, which is essential for ensuring maximum profits in today’s fast-moving environment.
