When Citrix bought Podio, I was really intrigued on what the planned to do with it. After hearing that the themes of Citrix Synergy 2012, Mobile Workstyles and Cloud, it became apparent.
With Podio, customers get a great team collaboration site with tools built in and the ability to create your own tools. You can track everything here. With the integration of ShareFile and GoToMeeting, you have the ability to host and attend meeting and store your corporate files. ShareFile and GoToMeeting integration is available now. Once the integration of the Citrix Receiver is complete, users will be able to access all their application and data from their team site.
Could this be the mobile desktop of the future? I think this could be. With the workforce becoming more mobile and wanting to access everything from a single location, Citrix was pretty smart buying Podio. I think Citrix has their own Facebook like product that if integrated correctly with CloudGateway could be very good. Plus, where is that receiver for Facebook that was announced at Barcelona??
After Citrix bought Podio and with me being a kind of social person, I set this up for my domain. I really like it. For companies, it could really be great if they want to embrace and change for what the new workforces wants and needs.
As far as how this integrates into MCPc's anyplace workspace, I feel that it fits into two of our 'My' frameworks, Desktop and Network. The My Desktop framework would utilize application publishing and provide anytime, anywhere, anydevice access as long as they had an Internet connection. The My Network framework could utilize Podio as the collaboration piece. Team building and video conferencing in the same place. Again these are just my opinions. We will have to wait and see where it all goes.
