This week alone, our customers and partners have heard about our exciting progress of products in the areas of enterprise app stores, data synchronization and sharing, mobile application management (to name a few) in our receiver product lines and the CloudGateway Sharefile. But the real excitement for me is that these new products allow us to offer to its customers.
To have a real understanding of what businesses need a mobility solution, Citrix has interviewed 510 IT managers, CIOs and architects April 2012. We asked about the impact of mobility computing and how you can bring your own device trends are changing the way they manage the devices. Here are some of the things we heard

That's why we are so enthusiastic about the enterprise mobility management solutions offered by Citrix.
