By , TMCnet Contributor

In current knowledge management and collaborative systems, today’s collaborative work style devices are increasing business productivity. Citrix, a provider of cloud, networking and virtualization technologies, has launched Citrix Podio for iPad, available for download immediately in the AppStore. According to the company, the Podio app delivers the best way to automate simple tasks and structure lightweight workflows, with simplicity and mobile efficiency in mind.


“Podio for iPad completes our vision of empowering people to work from anywhere, with anyone, on any device, using a tool that perfectly fits the way they want to work,” said Tommy Ahlers, VP of Social Collaboration, Citrix, in a statement. “Bringing Podio’s all-in-one work platform to the iPad makes it easier and faster to collaborate while on the go with the convenience of a lightweight mobile tablet, but without sacrificing Podio’s functionality or sophistication.”

Alan Lepofsky, vice president and principal analyst at Constellation Research, said, "Podio has designed its new iPad app to make it easy for people to use their Podio-based business applications, projects, tasks and workflows anytime, anywhere, via their tablet.”

Podio for iPad offers all the power of the collaborative work platform’s Web offering to the iPad’s intuitive interface, connecting people, projects, social and mobile to unlock the exciting potential of seamless anywhere, anytime working.

Podio allows users to work more efficiently as it connects collaboration and business processes through workspaces and apps – more powerful, collaborative and social alternatives to spreadsheets and e-mail. Podio apps can be found in the PodioAppMarket and can be customized for any type of work using the simple drag-and-drop PodioApp Builder, a unique tool that enables anyone to create custom apps for their work – whether it’s managing projects, interfacing with clients or partners, planning a conference, coordinating email marketing or receiving customer feedback. No technical skills or IT support is needed to create a Podio app – anyone can set one up in minutes.
