At a macro level, When I joined Citrix in 2014, we were already established in App Virtualization and the Networking areas and firmed our feet in Desktop and Server Virtualization. Over a period of time, we added significant capabilities around data, networking, and intelligent workspace technologies to set the foundation for our vision right now. A few points stood out for me in Citrix's Microservice story and innovation story.
Citrix were born in 1989. Only a handful of companies that started then are still relevant. It speaks volumes of our Innovative spirit.
During this time, we traversed through massive transitions. In early 90's Windows was in it's infancy, Internet was still an academic project. We embraced both, then saw through 2000's dot com phase, then the mobile revolution starting mid 2000's, then AI, and now Workspace. We saw through so many slowdown phases through our existence. It's simply fascinating as to how we remained nimble in these times of disruption.
The point that I am coming to is that Citrix is one of the Innovation giants - Innovation is in our DNA as a company.
