Extending Desktop Functionality to Tablets
Designed for professionals on the go, Citrix has unveiled ShareConnect, an app that delivers a desktop-like experience to Android tablets and the iPad. This includes instant access to business-critical apps, files and networks, as well as full-scale document editing-all in an experience optimized for tablets. The app frees tablet users to work effectively from in and out of the office-without sacrificing speed, usability or desktop features. With research showing the average worker uses around three devices in a day, the solution enables people to work securely on one device, shift to the next and pick up right where they left off to ensure enhanced performance and productivity. 'Today's workforce is more mobile than ever and they face two major challenges; not all data is stored in the cloud and many desktop apps are not fully functional through mobile apps,' said Jesse Lipson, vice president, Citrix. 'With ShareConnect, users can access and edit files, use industry-specific desktop apps critical to getting their work done and even use their business networks-all through a simple interface, optimized pixel by pixel for tablets.' ShareConnect features include:Access and edit files: The solution displays the most recent files worked on, enabling users to access and edit those files on native desktop apps while on the business network, if needed.Business networking: Network access is built into the app allowing workers to run resource-intensive desktop programs typically available only on the company network. The desktop processing power needed to smoothly run CAD programs, Illustrator or proprietary legacy apps is now seamless from Android and iOS tablets.App optimization: Desktop PC apps are optimized for the iPad and Android OS, opening in full screen mode, so employees can get right to work. Swipe, pinch and zoom functionality, full keyboard control and the ability to preview and edit Microsoft Office files-all create a desktop-like experience even when outside the office.Free storage: ShareConnect provides 1 GB of free cloud storage from Citrix ShareFile-a secure and simple file-sharing tool.
