Citrix Systems Value Stock - Dividend - Research Selection

Citrix is a Delaware corporation founded on April 17, 1989. We deliver solutions to make applications and data secure and easy to access, anywhere, anytime and on any device or network. The world is in a new era where physical and digital worlds are converging, and where everything is connected. The pace of change is exponential and the possibilities for improving how we work and live are limitless. Digital transformation is occurring in every industry and is being fueled by unprecedented adoption and convergence of mobile, cloud, big data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT). At the same time, organizations are struggling with technological complexity, heterogeneity and information overload. Businesses have spent years building unique operating models, investing in countless systems, platforms, and devices and then deeply customizing it all. Yet these legacy systems are making it difficult to adopt new innovations, devices and platforms needed to move forward. It is also creating new challenges for IT departments that must manage and secure it all. Further, an increasing number of workloads are becoming mobile. Finally, concerns about security are top of mind for every organization today. And the pressures of the multitude of devices, endpoints and networks are straining the limits of existing infrastructures and calling into question traditional device- or network-centric security approaches, which cannot keep pace with the new devices, application platforms and networks being introduced. Our mission is to power a world where people, organizations and things are securely connected and accessible. We aim to accomplish this by building the world’s best integrated technology services for secure delivery of apps and data anytime, anywhere. We market and license our products directly to customers, over the Web, and through independent software vendors, or ISVs, in addition to indirectly through systems integrators, or SIs, value-added resellers, or VARs, value-added distributors, or VADs, original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs and service providers. Separation of GoTo Business On January 31, 2017, we completed the separation and subsequent merger of the GoTo family of service offerings of our wholly-owned subsidiary, GetGo, to LogMeIn pursuant to a pro rata distribution to our stockholders of 100% of the shares of common stock of GetGo, pursuant to a Reverse Morris Trust (RMT) transaction. The GoTo family of service offerings consists of GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, GoToTraining, GoToMyPC, GoToAssist, Grasshopper and OpenVoice, or the GoTo Business, and had historically been part of our GoTo Business segment (formerly the Mobility Apps segment). As a result, in 2017, we will report the GoTo Business as discontinued operations. We are enabling the future of work by delivering the industry’s most comprehensive and integrated platform for secure app and data delivery and network functionality as a cloud-based service through technology leadership in application virtualization, VDI, mobility, networking and cloud. Our products and services target customers of all sizes, from small businesses to large global enterprises. Through three functional centers of excellence we administer the research and development, marketing and product management for our offerings. Source: www.sec.gov
