FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – November 15, 2018 – Wouldn't it be great if the list of things you need to focus on at work throughout the day along with the insights you need to get them done automatically popped up on your phone, tablet or PC so you didn't have to sift through your inbox, search your calendar or go six clicks deep into an enterprise application to execute a simple task? Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) thinks so, and is enhancing its digital workspace solutions to make this vision a reality. The company today announced that it has acquired Sapho, a leading micro app platform which it will use to enhance the guided work capabilities within Citrix® Workspace™, enabling people to work with even greater speed, intelligence and simplicity.
"In today's tight labor market, advantage goes to companies that can recruit, develop and engage employees better than the competition," said Tim Minahan, Executive Vice President Business Strategy and Chief Marketing Officer, Citrix. "Employee experience will ultimately determine winners and losers and Citrix is committed to delivering intelligent digital workspaces that give companies an edge."

"Organizations are experiencing a need to securely aggregate and automate access to applications and data from an increasing number and variety of sources, both on-premises and in the cloud. Citrix understands the need and is evolving its workspaces product to balance security with an improved end-user experience with the goal of elevating employee productivity, and reducing frustration with corporate IT systems among users," said Chris Marsh, 451 Research.

Give employees flexible access to all the apps and insights they need to work where and how they want and be productive in a single location.

Sapho's micro applications improve employee productivity by consolidating access to tools, activities and tasks in a simple and unified work feed.
"Sapho enabled us to replace our complicated systems with micro apps and modern workflows that deliver the consumer-driven experience that our employees have come to expect," said Steve Comstock, CIO, CBS Interactive. "With Sapho, our employees get things done faster, are more productive, and are happier with the experience we're delivering."
With Sapho, companies can automatically surface personalized and relevant tasks from existing systems and deliver them to any device, intranet or collaboration tool. Details about activities are exposed as micro-apps that provide contextual actions employees can take to complete work faster and make better decisions.

"Broadcom was looking for a true SaaS app solution, and we found Sapho," said Stanley Toh, Head of Enterprise End-users Services, Broadcom Inc. "Sapho is a true cloud-hosted app platform that is easy and fast to configure. The library of ready-to-use connectors and APIs are impressive, which reduces development time. From contract negotiations, to conceptual design, to development, testing and production, we were able to roll out in less than three months."
