Ivanti launches IT service desk integration with Citrix Workspace

Ivanti and Citrix are teaming up on a joint mission to personalise the employee experience for IT service desk analysts and end user staff for enterprise organisations.

Service desk and IT teams can now create and manage service requests and incidents within the Citrix Workspace console. Further, A low-code microapp builder and comprehensive developer toolkit allows for customisation.

According to Ivanti chief product officer Nakayi Nayyar, the integration enables organisations to transform their service operations.

"By expanding the reach of the Ivanti Neurons platform to Citrix users we can help organizations maximize their business outcomes by improving the accuracy, speed and efficiency of services delivered.
