GoToMyPC Corporate Provides Telework Rx for Businesses During Flu Vaccine Shortage Santa Barbara, California
For a healthy dose of productivity, many employees are forgoing their search for the hard-to-find flu vaccine. Instead, employers are encouraging their staff to leave their fuzzy slippers on and their immune systems intact by teleworking from home, using Citrix GoToMyPC Corporate from Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems Inc.
The fast, easy and secure managed service turns telework into a defense against the spread of illness and lost productivity costs -- estimated at $20 billion resulting from the vaccine shortage. With Citrix GoToMyPC Corporate, employees have secure access to all the files, programs and network resources available at the office, thus making it easy to be productive from any Internet-connected computer in any remote location.
"Many issues can arise during the winter season that require smart options for balancing the needs of work and one's personal life," said Carol Evans, CEO and president of Working Mother Media. "With a little planning and the right tools, you can be ready to meet the challenges of managing business projects and deadlines when snow days, sick children and elders require you to be at home and away from the office."
"Citrix GoToMyPC is ideal for employees during the flu season because it allows them to easily access their office desktop computer quickly and securely, maintaining their productivity as if they were still in the office," said Brian Donahoo, senior vice president of products and services at Citrix Online. "The vaccine shortage is a reality we all have to face, so we at Citrix Online are turning it into an opportunity for companies to try telework using our remote access technology, which is a great tool for businesses to deploy as a smart defense against lost productivity."
Citrix GoToMyPC is available in three versions: Citrix GoToMyPC is for individual users; Citrix GoToMyPC Pro is for small businesses requiring administrative functionality, and Citrix GoToMyPC Corporate is for businesses that require robust management and real-time administrative controls. Advanced security controls, including one-time passwords, strong authentication, and 128-bit end-to-end Advanced Encryption Standard help ensure that network resources and information are never compromised.
Since its introduction in 2001, Citrix GoToMyPC is consistently rated best-in-class and has been selected by IT professionals from over 2,000 organizations worldwide to meet the remote desktop access needs of their organizations.
