Citrix gold partner status for Smart Axess


Johannesburg, 22 Mar 2007

Citrix Systems, the global leader in application delivery infrastructure, has awarded its prestigious gold partner status to Bryanston-based mobility strategist, Smart Axess Solutions.

Smart Axess achieved this status, the highest level within the Citrix Solutions Advisor certification in southern Africa, due to its commitment to the Citrix platform, its investment in uplifting skills and meeting Citrix's challenging partner standards.

"Companies across South Africa share similar pain points with regards to implementing application delivery infrastructure strategies. Their areas of concern include limited bandwidth, choice of device and a favourable application delivery experience, while of course maintaining security," says Alex Russell, Managing Director at Smart Axess Solutions.

Smart Axess Solutions partners with Citrix Systems to plan, build, deliver and operate application delivery solutions for small and medium businesses, as well as corporates. Citrix application delivery technology enables businesses to rapidly deliver and increase the security of applications regardless of location or form of network connectivity.

"The principle requirement for Gold Partner certification is a skills upgrade," says Lisa Kelynack, Partner Account Manager at Citrix Systems Southern Africa.

"Customers looking for specialists in the application delivery infrastructure space are referred to our gold partner base to assist them in fulfilling their business objectives. Gold partners are able to offer the combination of strategic counsel and support from Citrix to ensure they are able to build positive relationships with their customers."
