As government organizations face a dual challenge: fulfilling their responsibility to protect and serve citizens—from security and disaster response and the administration of public entitlements, it’s important that they are able to share and act on vital information as effectively as possible across functions, agencies and borders.

With Citrix solutions, government agencies will be ready to deliver and receive digital information and services anytime, anywhere, and from any device—safely, securely and with fewer resources.

Leveraging the Citrix solutions, government agencies will be able to:

• Deliver applications and services securely across different locations and low bandwidth networks
• Protect confidential data and keep sensitive government data secure by granting flexible, multi-level access to authorized personnel
• Provide high availability of data enabling government workers to have uninterrupted, secure and instant access to desktop and applications across locations, devices and networks
• Increase IT productivity to meet the needs of all workers while reducing operational costs.

Citrix enables robust mobile security and identity controls that allow only authorized users to access data, as well as an effective centralized infrastructure that ensures business continuity and rapid disaster recovery.

Parag Arora, Area Vice President & Country Head – India Subcontinent, Citrix, said “With this partnership, Citrix will be able to play a key role in supporting the government to deliver citizen services securely and digitally”.
