The Citrix Ready program helps customers identify third-party solutions that are recommended to enhance workspace, networking and cloud computing solutions from Citrix. The new ThinPrint Mobile Print is the first managed and secure mobile printing solution for businesses and complements existing unified endpoint management solutions, such as XenMobile, to deliver secure iOS and Android printing. ThinPrint Mobile Print completed a rigorous verification process to ensure compatibility with XenMobile, which is used by many companies to securely manage all of their devices, including tablets and smartphones. ThinPrint Mobile Print software can be integrated into EMM or MDM systems to enable secure mobile printing with iOS and Android devices.
