Citrix today announced it is an inaugural member of the new Microsoft
Cloud Storage Partner Program. Citrix and Microsoft’s longtime
partnership of more than 25 years is enhanced by this alliance
agreement, enabling new ways to work for their joint customers. Work
is increasingly done by virtual teams spanning employees, contractors,
vendors, partners and customers. By joining the program to integrate
Citrix ShareFile with Office Online, Citrix and Microsoft are
facilitating easier collaboration across organizational and geographic
boundaries, increasing cross-team collaboration, productivity and
operational efficiency.
ShareFile is a secure enterprise file sync and sharing service that
meets the mobility and collaboration needs of people and the data
security requirements of enterprises. ShareFile enables customers to
mobilize data and provides a single point of secure access across
platforms, including network shares, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft
SharePoint, Microsoft OneDrive for Business or any other enterprise
content management system.
