The latest News and Information on Remote Work and related technologies.
“Work from anywhere” is now a common occurrence. With so many companies now dependent on a distributed workforce, IT teams need to be able to quickly diagnose and troubleshoot WiFi problems. Moreover, they, themselves, are often working remotely. In order to successfully do their jobs, consistent WiFi is obviously essential for remote workers.
I recently joined Neil C. Hughes on his podcast TechFusion by Citrix Ready to discuss the challenges that remote working has thrust upon enterprise IT teams. I’ve followed Neil’s work for some time from afar, so it was a joy to meet him and appear on his podcast alongside of Allan Furmanski, the lead product marketing manager for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.
