Our firm recently switched to Citrix and it’s causing me significant productivity issues. Everything is slow and frustrating. Do you have technology issues and what are your tips to keep them from ruining your day?

We have Citrix and it's awful. I'm curious as to what you used before and how much better it was?

We actually did everything in house. Our two main IT guys (I’m at a smaller firm of around 100 people) are retiring soon so it was all outsourced.

Interesting. My firm uses Right Networks that uses the Citrix workspace. Generally stable & relatively fast, but slow at opening word & excel documents.
