This addition builds upon the Citrix HDX Realtime Optimization Pack (RTOP) for Skype for Business that delivered a native-like experience for Skype for Business in virtual environments.

Microsoft Teams Citrix Support

Since the release of Skype RTOP, many customers emphasized just how important it was for them to deliver Skype for Business for their users, without impacting end-user experience or server load. Citrix’s successful collaboration with Microsoft for Skype RTOP helped optimize the delivery of Skype for Business for more than 700,000+ daily active users, with 25 percent of them Skype for Business Online users.

With more organizations implementing Office 365, which includes Microsoft Teams, organizations were asking when Citrix would optimize Microsoft Teams for virtual environments. Microsoft Teams comes with additional collaboration tools, app integration, and file storage capabilities. Any organization looking at improving employee productivity and collaboration as part of a workplace transformation initiative knew the role Citrix and Microsoft would play in today’s workplace.
