Altan Cengiztekin who is Country Manager of Citrix Turkey says ‘Waas already forms the vision for future workspace’

Digital transformation continues non-stop. In addition to the pressure of change caused by global competition, dazzling innovations in the tech world continue. Such trends as cloud computing, big data, BYOD, DaaS and Internet of Things shape not only today’s business and technology World, but also that of the future.

Companies have to re-design their business models as much as they have to re-conceive their business models. To that end, they must be more agile and digital and effectively utilize cloud, mobile, big data and internet of things (IoT). According to the statement of IDC, the number of corporates that have digital transformation strategies will be doubled within the next three to five years. The demand for speed, convenience and accessibility will position the cloud as the first item of these digital strategies. IDC predicts that half of the IT expenditures will be based on cloud by 2018, which is a very significant ratio.

Vision for future workspace

In such an atmosphere, a new trend increases its impact in the technology world. This new trend is the concept of Workspace-as-a-service (WaaS). The solutions of the integrated Workspace as a Service (WaaS) provides the infrastructure and space which people need in order to efficiently work anywhere. WaaS offers fully integrated and safe management ability. WaaS forms the lynchpin of the vision for today’s and future workspace.

While all companies are becoming more and more digital, IT leaders have the opportunity to lead the digital transformation at their firms and re-arrange the way of business conduct. WaaS provides employees with the freedom to safely Access to the data and application that they need to efficiently work anywhere. Moreover, it offers the flexibility to bridge over other clouds, data sources and old infrastructures. WaaS also offers ready-to-use services that IT requires in order to provide access to all applications, data and networks through a single and integrated platform and ensure their safety.

Fully safe and simple management ability

Citrix attracts attention by its leading position in WaaS, as it does in many other technology trends. Citrix has recently introduced its new solutions for WaaS at the Synergy 2016 held in Las Vegas.
