Fashion label designs digital workspace to
enable secure work from anywhere
As one of the world’s premium brands for casual wear, Marc
O’Polo is always thinking ahead and on top of trends. While many
companies viewed the shift to remote work as a pandemic-inspired
fad, the Stockholm-based fashion label knew better and began
designing a digital workspace that would allow its employees to
work from anywhere using solutions from Citrix Systems, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CTXS).
"Our goal is to create conditions under which our 2,000
employees worldwide can develop their full creativity and work
together optimally, wherever they happen to be,” said Matthias
Holzner, Manager IT Application & Collaboration, Marc
O’Polo.
Delivering the Future Work
To achieve this, Marc O’Polo has implemented a range of Citrix
digital workspace solutions through which it can provide
consistent, secure and reliable access to the systems, applications
and data its team needs to get work done, wherever it needs to get
done, including: Citrix DaaS™, Citrix Gateway™, Citrix Analytics
for Security™ and Citrix Analytics for Performance™.
To ensure its collections get in the hands of retail partners in
over 30 countries in a timely manner requires reliable access to a
host of graphics and creative applications, along with Enterprise
Resource Planning software, which controls all the company’s
production and sales processes.
With Citrix, Marc O’Polo can deliver it. “We are perfectly
prepared for any configuration of the hybrid working world and can
optimally support our flexwork strategy,” Holzner said. “Our
employees can log in and work creatively from anywhere, thanks to
Citrix infrastructure.”
Maximizing Security
And, of critical importance, they can do so in a highly secure
manner After being hit by a ransomware attack in 2019, Holzner and
his team began a complete overhaul of the company’s IT
infrastructure to improve the company’s security posture, and with
support from Citrix Gold Solution Advisor Provectus Technologies,
shifted management of its environment to Citrix Cloud™, leaving
only servers with virtual applications operated on-premises.
“This ensures that all updates and security patches are
installed automatically and that the environment is always up to
date,” Holzner said.
It also provides for continuous monitoring and optimization of
the security and performance of the Marc O’Polo digital workspaces
via Citrix Analytics for Security, which Holzner says play a
central role in the company’s overall security strategy.
“The Citrix Analytics for Security dashboard gives us a complete
overview of potential risks and uses traffic light colors to see
where intervention is needed, and many actions can then be
automated via policies,” Holzner said. “If, for example, a user who
was registered in Stephanskirchen during the day logs in from an
address in Asia a few hours later, the account is immediately
blocked and our team is notified.”
Enhancing User Experience
In addition, the company uses Citrix Analytics for Performance
to ensure its users have a reliable experience that enables them to
perform at their best. By aggregating and presenting all relevant
performance data, the service provides valuable insights and
concrete troubleshooting suggestions the Marc O’Polo team can use
to quickly identify and resolve issues and mitigate their impact.
And it’s seeing results.
"Analytics for Performance has optimized our user support, as we
can use it to find out very quickly why application response times
are not satisfactory for individual-users,” Holzner said. “In one
specific case, for example, we found outdated software clients on
the user’s end devices, which were significantly slowing down login
times, and fixed them right away.”
Simplifying IT
The new Citrix environment has also radically simplified IT. "We
used to spend an average of one hour a day checking each system,”
Holzner said. “Today, we can simply rely on the environment to be
available and up to date.”
