As organisations add layers of technology to meet users` demands, the resulting heterogeneous collection of backend systems and user devices makes information access increasingly complex.
"The Citrix iForum 2004 event taking place on 21 July at Vodaworld in Midrand is aimed at demonstrating how effective information access can increase productivity, gain tighter control over IT resources, and implement a flexible mobile strategy," says Chris Norton, Citrix country manager.
[VIDEO]"The event will help companies see how to become on-demand enterprises through the use of suitable access strategies," explains Norton. "The event is aimed at IT professionals, consultants, IT executives, and anyone looking for an alternative access methodology to infrastructure."
Norton says Citrix delivers a computing methodology that allows any device to connect to any application on the backend simply, securely and reliably, giving customers the freedom to move around. "Work should be something you do, not somewhere you have to be."
iForum will be divided into three different tracks. Nick Keene, Citrix systems engineer, says the solution track will talk to architects about developing solutions for an access infrastructure, the business track is aimed at illustrating why access infrastructure should be deployed in organisations, and the technical workshops are focused on IT professionals.
[VIDEO]"The technical workshops will demonstrate Presentation Server 3, Password Manager 2.5, Conferencing Manager 3.0 and Secure Access Manager 2.2, which are the four products in the Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite."
Norton says iForum will demonstrate technologies consistent with an access infrastructure and enable companies to see how the technologies available from Citrix can provide solutions around application deployment, business continuity, remote office connectivity and workforce mobility.
"iForum will benefit companies looking to centralise and consolidate," concludes Keene. "Any company looking at these two strategies will benefit from having a look at our access infrastructure."
