Citrix Systems, a global provider of digital workspace and app delivery solutions, has announced that it has completed its acquisition of Wrike, a provider of SaaS collaborative work management solutions, for approximately US$2.25 billion in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the acquisition, Citrix will deliver the industry\u2019s most comprehensive cloud-based work platform to empower all employees and teams to securely access, collaborate and execute all work types in the most efficient and effective way possible – across any work channel, device or location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor more than three decades, Citrix has been a leader in providing digital workspace infrastructure that empowers IT organisations to securely deliver the apps, content and business services employees need to do their jobs,\u201d said David Henshall, President and CEO, Citrix. \u201cWith the addition of Wrike\u2019s collaborative work management capabilities, which leading companies like Walmart, Fitbit, Siemens Smart Infrastructure, Chosen Foods and many others rely on to foster more efficient and collaborative work execution, we can take things to the next level and enable people, teams and organisations to perform at their best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Digitisation and the adoption of flexible and hybrid work models continues to accelerate. But complex and distributed work environments are cluttered with a heterogeneous array of applications, communication channels and devices that disrupt employees and get in the way of efficient and meaningful work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe need to provide a secure and simplified work experience for employees has never been more critical,\u201d said Mark Bowker, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. \u201cTo keep employees engaged and productive in today\u2019s hybrid work environment, companies need to not only provide secure and reliable access to the resources they need to do their jobs, but tools that enable them to work more efficiently and effectively across work channels, devices and locations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
