Planning ahead for Citrix Synergy so you can stay ahead of the competition

[HPE_Alliances]

By Steven Fleischman

I don’t really like meticulous advance planning. I tend to be more of a spontaneous, whatever-happens-happens, go-with-the-flow kinda guy.  But there are exceptions, and HPE’s presence at Citrix Synergy 2018 is one of them. Disruption can be unsettling. Rapid change can be scary. New challenges can throw you off your game for a bit. And there’s probably more of all three of those things – disruption, change, and challenges – going around than ever before. 

The good news is that HPE and Citrix have joint solutions that can help you deal with all three of them (and more). So I want to make sure that you get to see them our solutions in action and get the answers to your questions from HPE experts and poke and prod and test and try until you have identified exactly how we can help.  So I’ve been planning for Synergy – and pretty meticulously, too - for a while now. Here’s what I have so far. Feel free to let me know what you think.
