Citrix will no longer be available as of January 2026. The phase-out process is currently underway and will continue throughout 2025. As part of this transition, Microsoft Office applications (e.g. Word, Excel) within Citrix will already be discontinued as of September 2025.
We are actively exploring alternatives for the known Citrix use cases (see table below). Updates will be published regularly on the intranet.
