FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. — 4/3/2006 — Citrix Systems, Inc. the global leader in access infrastructure solutions, today announced that the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee has centralized its IT infrastructure with the Citrix Access Platform, providing its employees with secure access to business-critical data and information. In furthering its commitment of work balance to its employees, the YMCA chose Citrix to significantly reduce the cost and complexity of enabling secure access for local and remote users, while providing administrators with better control over network security. These benefits also give the organization a much more effective remote workforce, eliminating the need for employees to stay in the office around-the-clock.
Prior to deploying Citrix, the organization struggled with demanding workloads that kept employees and executives alike at the office for long hours. The IT department in particular spent massive amounts of time maintaining legacy applications with a very limited staff. These legacy applications required numerous service packs and updates, forcing the four-person IT department to update more than 750 individual desktops every two months. In addition, the YMCA’s front-desk was using older PCs, resulting in slow check-in procedures and long lines for members waiting to enter the facility. read full article (linked article) |
