CDW scoops prestigious 2016 Citrix Innovation Award for Partners

CDW honoured with 2016 Citrix Innovation Award at the Citrix Summit in Las Vegas

CDW are delighted to collect the prestigious 2016 Citrix Innovation Award for our work with UK charity, Action for Children.

Action for Children, a nonprofit that works in local communities across the UK to make children's lives better, partnered CDW, to use Citrix technology to empower its 6,000 staff based in over 400 sites across the UK to securely access apps and data from any device. This change has dramatically altered the average workday for thousands of employees, particularly the charity's field staff of social and care workers, who will no longer have to return to the office from a family's home or care centre just to connect to the company's network each day. In addition, with security being a vital component of dealing with information relating to children, Citrix has enabled a highly-secure mobile solution.

"It is fantastic that CDW’s partnership with Action for Children, using technology to improve the lives of vulnerable children, has been recognised by this global award for innovation."

Alan Crawford, CIO, Action for Children

In recognition of the success of the work they've done with Action for Children, Citrix has named CDW as the company's third annual Innovation Award for Partners winner. This award recognizes visionary partners who are using Citrix technology to securely deliver apps and data while achieving business and organizational success, market share growth and competitive momentum that goes beyond the industry norm.

Now in its tenth year, the Citrix Innovation Award seeks to inspire Citrix customers, partners and prospects to think differently about IT: as a key strategic component to enable business and organizational success, grow market share or compete beyond the industry norm.
