The office setting has not fundamentally changed since the days of Henry Ford. Historically, a physical office was a requirement for businesses to function. This often necessitated a commute, adding both time to the workday and  increased expenses for commuting costs.

Today, the ubiquity of wireless connection as well as mobile devices allows people to work from anywhere and on any device and be productive on their own terms. Employees want flexibility and the ability to decide what kind of environment they want to work in and where they are going to be most successful. Remote working also allows employers to extend their talent pool beyond the  confines of a typical commuting distance.

Citrix Systems is a leading American multinational cloud computing and virtualisation technology company, and the world’s leading digital workspace provider. Citrix delivers solutions to help unify, secure and simplify work to elevate the employee experience and drive better business outcomes.

More companies are starting to support a remote or hybrid work structure, and with this change there is a need to allow flexibility for end users while still protecting corporate assets. Citrix technology allows its customers to understand how their work environments are performing, both from a security and reliability standpoint and address needs proactively.

Citrix accommodates a variety of new work models, which will be increasingly important as companies determine the way forward. This flexibility ensures that each organisation can build an environment based upon their unique business needs. Citrix technology affords a balance between security and experience.

Citrix has been working with Red Bull Racing Honda for ten years. Red Bull Racing Honda, a Formula One racing team, work in an extremely high-performance environment and require the best tools possible in order to function. Red Bull Racing Honda use graphic intensive 3D modelling in its design process which puts heavy use on its computer systems. However, the team found that Citrix were incredibly supportive in adapting and improving the product to meet some of those requirements.

The future of work is about adaptability. Organisations need to have a deep understanding of what their end users need, and then build an environment that is ready to change as business requirements change.

As technology continues to advance, remote and hybrid working will also continue to develop as work culture enters a new era, and Citrix Systems is already a leader in this change.
