It is all in the numbers. And the numbers are not changing anytime soon. Citrix sites support over 400,000 customers. On average, an organization has 2-3 total FTEs managing and monitoring their Citrix environment. If you take those numbers, then roughly there is a demand for at least 1.2 million experts who need to be able to interact with Citrix in a knowledgeable way. Now on the supply side. We know there are 62 named Citrix Technology Professionals (CTPs) every year who are highly certified.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve carried out several audits on healthcare customers’ Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or DaaS deployments, and one of the checks that consistently stands out is the use of older Citrix Receiver and Workspace app versions connecting to the environment.
