In the wake of events that have caused business disruption, such as the Tsunami in Asia, bombings in Indonesia and the recent flu outbreak, businesses are increasingly creating and refining their business continuity’ and disaster recovery plans.

According to Gartner, having a workforce continuity plan is critical to ensuring the organization can recover from a local or regional disaster. Without your workforce, there is no business. You need to be able to account for your workers, know that they are safe, and keep them connected to your company’s e-mail, enterprise resource planning, and customer relationship management systems. In short, you need to ensure that your workforce can operate in remote scenarios and get VIRTUAL.

IT will be faced with the challenge of providing resources to this new and growing virtual workforce made up of external, displaced and remote workers. The cost and security obstacles, as well as technical support and ongoing training, are daunting. If not handled correctly, will easily negate any cost savings that were originally sought.

Attend this complimentary Citrix Technology Exchange seminar to learn how application and desktop virtualization which are vital components of an application delivery infrastructure provide device and location independence. With all the right factors working together, you can increase security and productivity while decreasing overall costs. It’s all possible with Citrix.
