Citrix Workspace (discontinued)

Citrix Workspace is an essential program to ensure that we can implement a decentralized virtual desktop infrastructure to support our daily lab work. Citrix allows us to launch the VDI environment we currently utilize via Sharp Healthcare and ricoh-USA allowing us remote access to our LIS platforms. The flexibility makes it such that our employees can work from home effectively, our doctors are able to access their daily cases from various different locations, and within the lab itself our uses are able to jump to different workstations and continue work without disruption.

• Accessibility
• Ease of Access
• Speed

• Has allowed for greater productivity with WFH options
• Allowed us to deploy more versatile workflows with our doctors

LigoLab LIS & RCM Operating Platform

We use Citrix Workspace to access some of our customers' virtual machines where we do our daily work in a completely secure environment. Besides access to VMs, we also have access to a set of pre-configured software solutions without having to deal with installations/configuration steps. We use it either from company computers or sometimes from our own devices (when working from home or while traveling).

• Security (Multiple Factor Authentication, Encryption).
• Access to multiple VMs / Servers / Workstations within a single desktop.
• Access to pre-installed Applications.

• Adding new people based around the globe to the team is simple and quick.
• I do not know about costs, but the product is simple to use and efficient.

Citrix is used here as a dashboard that contains links to open a variety of software products we use to conduct our work. Given the nature of our work, secure access to confidential material is imperative, and Citrix is used as a gate to enter those domains. My role can access 18 different items in this way.

• Secure logins
• Organizing applications

• Unfortunately I can't speak to the invest made versus returns gained
