Citrix Systems may buy work management platform Wrike for a reported $2 billion.
The virtualisation outfit could close a deal with the owners of Wrike, Vista Equity Partners, this week. This deal potentially adds another tool to Citrix’s arsenal as the firm aims to become a major player in the collaboration space.
Talks are reportedly going on with nothing finalised and discussions could yet collapse at any stage.
Citrix already develops cloud-based products that allow employees to work remotely and keep in touch with their colleagues, but integrating collaboration software such as that developed by Wrike would allow the company to go one step further.
Wrike develops workplace collaboration software that incorporates elements such as planning, workflow management and project management. The core platform is also supported by a host of integrations with technologies developed by the likes of Box, Salesforce, Microsoft, Google and Slack.
