Citrix has announced new security and feature enhancements to the Citrix XenMobile solution. The new release empowers organizations in highly regulated industries, such as government agencies, to embrace device choice, improve productivity with quick access to more apps, and provide support for Microsoft Lync online meetings and other communication environments, without sacrificing security, control and most importantly, user experience. Citrix also enables enterprises and government agencies that are planning to phase out BlackBerry devices to transition smoothly, knowing their data and existing apps are secure, integrated and supported, the press release announced.
XenMobile enables government agencies and other highly regulated organizations to mobilize their employees without sacrificing security or control. XenMobile provides a complete EMM solution for highly regulated organizations to manage mobile apps, data and devices. With XenMobile, government agencies and enterprises gain control over personal and corporate-issued mobile devices with full configuration, security, provisioning and support capabilities. This also includes visibility into currently deployed BlackBerry devices. XenMobile meets IT departments’ need for mobile security, compliance and control while allowing employees new ways to work better.
Tom Simmons, Area Vice President, U.S. Public Sector, Citrix, said, “Mobility is one of the top three hot topics in government today and the need for a secure, flexible enterprise solution is a reality. That need is transforming IT in government to address the use of both government-furnished devices and BYOD programs. By embracing these mobility trends, agencies can improve employee productivity and job satisfaction while taking advantage of the latest in device and service-provider technologies. Citrix XenMobile enables the management of the devices and the mobile applications, and when paired with other Citrix technologies that expose applications, IT resources and workspaces to these devices, provides the most complete EMM solution for government.”
Citrix XenMobile 8.7 will be available for download for current customers this month.
