Top Nordic Consulting Firm Uses Citrix to Centralize Applications for Efficient Management and Provide On-Demand Access to Employees and Customers
    Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in access infrastructure solutions, today announced that Ementor, a leading consulting and outsourcing company in the Nordic region, has standardized on Citrix access infrastructure with the deployment of Citrix(R) MetaFrame(R) Presentation Server and Citrix(R) MetaFrame(R) Secure Access Manager across all of the company's offices. The 3,000-user deployment in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden will provide both Ementor employees and its customers secure access to enterprise applications and information anytime, anywhere through a simplified, centralized IT infrastructure.
    Prior to implementing Citrix technology, Ementor struggled with a custom-designed security solution that was difficult to upgrade, requiring time- and cost-intensive adjustments that had to be made for each customer. Ementor needed a simplified solution that was both highly secure and easy to maintain. The company quickly realized significant benefits including time savings in the deployment of new applications as well as increased security and mobility. Therefore Ementor decided to standardize on Citrix software for all employees and customers.
    MetaFrame Presentation Server and MetaFrame Secure Access Manager enable Ementor to centralize the deployment and management of business-critical applications for greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In addition, Citrix technology provides access to these applications on-demand for any authorized user. Ementor's dynamic and unpredictable user base can now securely and conveniently access all applications and information through a single Web-based gateway, eliminating the need for IT staff to deploy applications individually at every location or for every customer. The solution also allows access to the organization's intranet and other internal Web services without having to establish a VPN, a solution difficult to manage and requiring propriety clients to be installed and maintained.
    "With MetaFrame Presentation Server and MetaFrame Secure Access Manager, Ementor employees and our customers have the opportunity to work wherever and whenever it suits them best," said Nils Thomas Hole, business developer for Ementor. "As the first Citrix partner standardizing these solutions in this region we feel confident that we're leading the way for our customers to use Citrix for secure and instant access."
    "Ementor adopted MetaFrame Presentation Server and MetaFrame Secure Access Manager after an extremely short test period - proof that these products are rewarding them with an immediate and measurable return on investment," said James Dudek, regional sales manager for Citrix in Norway. "Citrix has had remarkable success in the Nordic region, largely due to a very efficient and customer-focused sales channel. We are pleased that Ementor, who has proven to be a key partner for us, has decided to extend the benefits of Citrix access infrastructure to its customer base."
    The foundation of the Citrix(R) MetaFrame(R) Access Suite, Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server is the world's most widely deployed presentation server for centrally managing heterogeneous applications and delivering access to them as a service to workers, wherever they are, and to whatever computing device they use. MetaFrame Presentation Server runs on Microsoft(R) Windows Server(TM) 2003, Windows(R) 2000 Server, and a variety of UNIX(R) operating systems, supporting virtually any custom or commercially-packaged Windows, Web, or UNIX application. MetaFrame Presentation Server provides an exceptional foundation on which to build highly-scalable, flexible, secure, manageable access solutions that reduce computing costs and increase the utility of any information system.
