Flextronics expands partnership with Citrix Systems

Deal will include joint design of new hardware products.

Flextronics announced that it will expand its existing partnership with Citrix Systems, Inc. to include the joint design of Citrix's next generation hardware for WAN optimisation and secure access appliances and primary outsourcing partner. Flextronics has provided manufacturing and logistics solutions to Citrix for more than five years, according to a report in PRNewswire.

"Flextronics' vast global resources support our hardware manufacturing strategy in several important ways, which is to partner with world class hardware engineers to design great, reliable products for our customers. We also have realised financial improvements, one example being the joint implementation of a LEAN kanban supply chain model that has accelerated cash-to-cash cycles for both companies," said Fred Tiso, group director of hardware operations, Citrix Systems. "We could not be more pleased with our Flextronics' partnership and we have complete confidence in the team to support our security appliance manufacturing requirements."

"We are very excited to further build upon our established, collaborative relationship with Citrix and help them to develop and build highly competitive products that fully leverage our end-to-end offering, including Flextronics' optimised supply chain and global footprint," said Michael Clarke, president of Flextronics Infrastructure.

Flextronics provides services to Citrix Systems globally through its locations in California, Canada, the Netherlands and Singapore.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
