Businesses today are facing a new world of work that requires hybrid cloud technology to keep employees working as productively as possible, regardless of where they’re located or what devices they are using. Welcome to the new “business as usual.”

A seismic shift from the traditional, office-based routine has unfolded rapidly before our eyes: With nearly half of the American workforce working from home in the first half of 2020 and an estimated 25–30% of the global workforce expected to work from home multiple days per week by the end of 2021, organizations the world over are having to redefine “business as usual.”

Gone are the days when mobile work was a choice. Now and in the future, “business as usual” is the ability to work seamlessly from anywhere, over any network, and on multiple devices. To assure long-term success in this new environment, IT leaders must build resiliency into the foundations of their organizations. Virtualization technology like Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, especially when hosted in the hybrid cloud, delivers the flexibility, security and infinitely scalable performance that supports the diverse ways that employees do their jobs.
