Hi, I'm Caryl from HPE's World Wide Alliances Team.
Welcome to the HPE World Wide Alliances partner showcase.
In this episode,
we'll talk about how HPE and Citrix enable hybrid work
from the edge to the office.

For many workers, the future of work is now hybrid.
The pandemic has forced companies to embrace remote working
like never before and business leaders have realized
that remote work actually increases productivity.
Many companies and their employees place quality of life
above returning to the physical office,
meaning many companies expect people
to be working flexibly for the longterm,
whether at home, in the office, or a mix of the two.
A flexible work environment is not just relevant
for existing employees,
it's essential to attract new talent.
Now, increasingly, our office spaces must evolve
to collaboration hubs,
which focus on creating productive and positive experiences,
where teams can meet to discuss new ideas
and grow their perspective businesses.
Let's explore how HPE and Citrix can help you
ensure your teams are productive,
as you build your hybrid work strategy
while ensuring security and trust wherever your people are.
From the onset, Digital Next Advisory
from HPE Pointnext Services can help you
set your new strategy.
We can help you envision how your teams might work
in the future, including three to five years from now.
What we do is help you understand what your peers are doing,
what aligns to your business goals,
and how to craft the future of work for your people.
Working with the advisory and professional services team
from HPE will help deepen the understanding
of your team members and their working dynamics.
Have you noticed we haven't talked about technology yet?
That's because we understand
that your people are the most important part
of this journey
and we put this at the heart of everything we do.
We see technology as the enabler.
Think about it like this:
you have a legacy application and you need it to perform
for people distributed all over the world,
while keeping hold of security and data protection.
That's totally fine.
You can still enable someone in the physical office
as well as someone working at home
by using Citrix virtual apps and desktops
running on HPE GreenLake for VDI.
We ensure the only thing
that leaves the data center are the pixels on the display
and the only thing entering are the keystrokes.
This doesn't have to be physical services
in your data center.
HPE in partnership with Citrix and Microsoft
have helped customers build out
dynamic hybrid client virtualization platforms
for both on-premises and cloud desktops,
enabling truly flexible working locations,
ensuring resilience and business continuity
when you need it.
Client virtualization, also known as VDI,
is only one part of the puzzle.
The move to software as a service is also creating
a complexity known as cloud sprawl,
where employees are increasingly finding it difficult
to know which application they are meant to use.
This can also drive a move to shadow IT,
where employees end up using non-corporate tools
to complete business tasks.
By helping you understand which applications are acting
as time sinks and barriers in your employees' productivity,
HPE and Citrix can enable you to consolidate functionality
and actionable tasks into a single workflow
within Citrix Workspace.

How does this work in practice?
Let's use an example of teams starting
to return to the office.
HPE Intelligent Spaces integrated with Citrix Workspace
and delivered in the form of micro apps,
enables your employees to book a hot desk
or a meeting room, manage visitors,
and even find where services and facilities are
in the building that may be new or different to them.
Under the hood,
HPE Intelligent Workspaces also ensures
that facilities management teams can ensure
that rooms and desks and spaces
that have been utilized can be cleaned
and also enables you to see your occupancy levels
adhering to any regulations you might have in place.
Finally, when your people are home-based,
how can you manage their device estate
and environment remotely?
A strategy workshop with HPE
in partnership with Citrix and Microsoft
can help you control your end points and their applications.
If you want to talk with us about VDI, Citrix,
or any digital workplace transformations,
including those focused on the physical office,
please reach out to your HPE representative.
