ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Citrix is leading the transition to software-defining the workplace, uniting virtualization, mobility management,
networking and SaaS solutions to enable new ways for businesses and people to work better. Citrix solutions power business
mobility through secure, mobile workspaces that provide people with instant access to apps, desktops, data and
communications on any device, over any network or cloud.
We market and license our products directly to customers, over the Web, and through systems integrators, or SIs, in
addition to indirectly through value-added resellers, or VARs, value-added distributors, or VADs, original equipment
manufacturers, or OEMs and service providers.
Citrix is a Delaware corporation founded on April 17, 1989.
Business Overview
For the past twenty-six years, we have been a visionary in software-defining the workplace guided by our core belief that
“work is not a place". A software-defined workplace is one where people can securely and effortlessly collaborate across the
boundaries of time, place and device. In a software-defined workplace, people create better business outcomes, they are more
productive and engaged and their businesses are more agile and responsive to change.
We have positioned, scaled and transformed Citrix through significant growth phases from remote access, to web app
delivery, to virtualization, to mobile workspaces and now we are doing it again.
Our customers are faced with the pressures to deliver business results while creating an engaging work-life experience for
their employees. Our focus on enabling a software-defined workplace is putting Citrix in front of this strategic challenge
through the unique integration of our workspace services, delivery networking and mobility apps.
Products and Services
Our products and services target customers of all sizes, from individuals and professional consumers, to large global
enterprises. Two divisions, the Enterprise and Service Provider division and the Mobility Apps (formerly Software as a Service,
or SaaS) division, administer the research and development, product marketing, and product management for our offerings. Our
Enterprise and Service Provider division is comprised of Workspace Services (formerly Mobile and Desktop) and Delivery
Networking (formerly Networking and Cloud) products. Our Mobility Apps (formerly SaaS) division is comprised of
Communications Cloud, Documents Cloud and Workflow Cloud products. Broadly, as an organizing principle, we group our
offerings in the following main categories within our two divisions:
Workspace Services
Mobile Platforms
Our Enterprise Mobility Management, or EMM products help organizations secure and manage mobile devices along
with the apps and data that reside on the mobile device. XenMobile® allows IT to easily meet mobile device security and
compliance requirements for BYO and corporate liable devices while giving users the freedom to experience work and life
