Europe’s Marc O’Polo implements Citrix digital workspace solutions

To achieve this, Marc O’Polo has implemented a range of Citrix digital workspace solutions through which it can provide consistent, secure and reliable access to the systems, applications and data its team needs to get work done, wherever it needs to get done, including: Citrix DaaS, Citrix Gateway, Citrix Analytics for Security, and Citrix Analytics for Performance. To ensure its collections get in the hands of retail partners in over 30 countries in a timely manner requires reliable access to a host of graphics and creative applications, along with enterprise resource planning software, which controls all the company’s production and sales processes, Marc O’Polo said in a statement.

While many companies viewed the shift to remote work as a pandemic-inspired fad, the Stockholm-based fashion label, Marc O’Polo, knew better and has designed a digital workspace that would allow its employees to work from anywhere using workspace solutions from Citrix Systems. Marc O’Polo is one of the leading premium brands for modern casual wear.

In addition, the company uses Citrix Analytics for Performance to ensure its users have a reliable experience that enables them to perform at their best. By aggregating and presenting all relevant performance data, the service provides valuable insights and concrete troubleshooting suggestions the Marc O’Polo team can use to quickly identify and resolve issues and mitigate their impact. And it’s seeing results.

“Our goal is to create conditions under which our 2,000 employees worldwide can develop their full creativity and work together optimally, wherever they happen to be. We are perfectly prepared for any configuration of the hybrid working world and can optimally support our flexwork strategy. Our employees can log in and work creatively from anywhere, thanks to Citrix infrastructure,” Matthias Holzner, manager IT application & collaboration, Marc O’Polo, said in a statement.

“The Citrix Analytics for Security dashboard gives us a complete overview of potential risks and uses traffic light colours to see where intervention is needed, and many actions can then be automated via policies. If, for example, a user who was registered in Stephanskirchen during the day logs in from an address in Asia a few hours later, the account is immediately blocked and our team is notified. Analytics for Performance has optimised our user support, as we can use it to find out very quickly why application response times are not satisfactory for individual-users. In one specific case, for example, we found outdated software clients on the user’s end devices, which were significantly slowing down login times, and fixed them right away,” Holzner added.
