Storage zones controller

Managing your own data storage enables you to meet regulatory compliance requirements and to locate the storage close to users for optimized performance. Storage zones reside in your on-premises single-tenant storage system or in supported third-party cloud storage. Storage zones controller also provides users with secure access to Citrix Content Collaboration and network file shares through storage zone connectors. Connected file shares can include the same network home drives used in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environments. Storage zone connectors provide secure mobile access to data residing behind your corporate firewall without the need to migrate data to the cloud.

Storage zone connectors enable ShareFile client users to browse, upload, or download documents. For documents stored in SharePoint, mobile users can download, check out, edit, and check in Microsoft Office documents and annotate Adobe PDF documents. The mobile content editor integrated with ShareFile provides mobile users with a secure, rich editing experience, even when working offline.

Citrix RightSignature

Citrix delivers electronic signature capability using Citrix RightSignature. An electronic signature, sometimes known as an e-signature, is the same as your handwritten signature on a paper document, except electronic — a mark on an electronic contract or document you make to demonstrate your intent to agree to the terms of that document.

Integrating Citrix RightSignature with Citrix Content Collaboration provides the power to obtain legally binding signatures on documents entirely online, being completed more quickly and securely than executing paper documents.

Citrix delivers electronic signature capability at different levels:

• Citrix electronic signature integration with Citrix Content Collaboration lets you send files stored in your Citrix Content Collaboration account for electronic signature. For integration steps, see Getting started
  .
• Users can send for signature directly from Citrix Workspace with the integration described above (RightSignature to Content Collaboration), Citrix Content Collaboration enabled in Citrix Workspace, and electronic signature enabled for end users. For details of these setup processes, see Activate electronic signature licenses for Citrix Workspace users
  , Activate electronic signature licenses for Content Collaboration users (non-Workspace)
  , and Add employee user
  .
