In Depth: Citrix XenMobile
The IT Nerd team recently had the opportunity to attend Citrix Mobility in Toronto. This is a one-day event hosted by Citrix executives and product specialists, which provides strategic guidance on how you can enable mobile workspaces evolution for your organization.

Both could be described as the administration of mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops when linked to a corporate network.
