What is a Citrix Compatible Scanner and Why Does Your Business Need One?

When it comes to the mobile office, the future is here. Thanks to remote operating systems such as Citrix, businesses now operate in an always-on, connected environment that can be accessed on any device, from any location.

In use by more than 400,000 organizations and more than 1 million users around the world, Citrix is the industry leader in secure application delivery, network delivery, virtualization and file sharing systems.

Employees are able to work anywhere and at any time – accessing data, running applications and sharing files from any device with the peace of mind that your company’s critical systems are both accessible and secure.

Such systems also help create a paperless office – long touted as a way to reduce costs, increase efficiency and help the environment. But no matter how much of its workflow a business tries to digitize, there will always be hard copies of certain bills, forms and other documents to deal with.

The solution is simple: simply scan and file those papers to create an electronic copy, right? But what if your scanner doesn’t work in your company’s Citrix environment? Quality digital imaging is crucial for today’s trends of mobility, virtualization, networking and cloud platforms, but a document capture system that’s incompatible with the network can pose a major obstacle for many businesses.

Citrix compatible scanners are tested in compliance with Citrix standards. That means total compatibility between your scanners and your Citrix system, allowing you and your staff to scan from any client, redirecting the images to your server. It makes for a smoother workflow and increased security for your most important documents.

With programs such as Citrix XenApp and the ICA protocol, client-connected TWAIN imaging devices are redirected from the client to the server, regardless of connection type. Configuring a Citrix-compatible scanner, such as Ambir Technology’s ImageScan Pro 490i is simple and hassle-free, straight out of the box.

The benefits of choosing a Citrix-compatible scanning solution are clear:

• Seamless integration with your Citrix system
• Increased mobility and security
• Improved workflow and efficiency
• Reduced overhead costs
• Enhanced customer experience
