The relaunch of the service as Citrix Podio included the addition of integration with Citrix ShareFile, Evernote, Google Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive and SugarSync (in addition to the existing integration with Box, Dropbox and Google Docs) for document storage, along with integration with Citrix GoToMeeting for web conferencing. There's also integration with FreshBooks, Google Apps, Campaign Monitor and Zendesk.

"There will be many, many more [integrations]," said Mr Ahlers, who claimed it was already the most-connected collaboration application.

He demonstrated the use of Podio in conjunction with Citrix Receiver to launch XenApp-hosted applications to edit a file where a compatible native application was not available on the device being used. When the altered file is saved back to a service such as ShareFile, it is immediately available to other participants.

Podio is offered on a freemium basis, and is free for use by teams of up to five people.
