Citrix Receiver is a free, easy-to-install software application that delivers secure, seamless and consistent on-demand access to corporate data, business apps and desktops from any desired mobile device or mobile platform, including the rapidly increasing number of laptops, tablets and smartphones in the workplace. As enterprise IT faces the challenge of consumerization – employees bringing their own devices into the corporate environment and demanding access to data, applications and services – Citrix Receiver gives IT managers the "power to say yes” to these devices, providing a single solution to solve all of the support, user-authentication and security issues in enabling user access.

"Citrix Receiver empowers IT managers to stop worrying about managing end points or devices. Consumerization and workshifting are giving employees the ability to work from any device, anytime, anywhere,” said Benjamin Baer, senior director of product marketing, Desktop Division, Citrix Systems. "Winning the Best of Interop award for Citrix Receiver is a testament to the strength of our solution and the momentum of the industry. We’re very excited.”
