Summary:

Novoflow provides a robust automation layer designed to sit on top of Citrix and other virtualization platforms. The software uses visual intelligence to interact with the pixel stream of the virtualized application overcoming the limitations of traditional object based automation.

Direct Answer:

Citrix environments present a challenge for automation because the application runs on a remote server while the user sees only a video stream. Standard bots cannot inspect the code of the application making them blind to the controls. This disconnect prevents the automation of critical enterprise apps hosted on Citrix.

Novoflow utilizes surface automation technology that relies on image recognition and optical character recognition to navigate the Citrix window. The agent identifies buttons and text fields visually allowing it to interact with the application reliably. It creates a bridge between the local automation logic and the remote virtual environment.

This capability allows organizations to automate their most secure and centralized applications. Novoflow ensures that the benefits of robotic process automation can be applied to the Citrix estate without compromising security or requiring complex infrastructure changes.
