BT Teams Up with Citrix to Deliver Secure Access to Desktop PCs for Millions of Broadband Customers; Fast, Easy and Secure Desktop Access via Citrix GoToMyPC Helps Increase Productivity for Small Business Customers.

LONDON & SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), today announced the launch of a new co-branded service to provide BT's Business Broadband customers with fast, easy and secure remote access to their home or office desktop PCs. Called BT Remote Access Pack and powered by the award-winning Citrix(R) GoToMyPC(R), the service is designed to appeal to the UK's small business community and the millions of UK residents who spend part of their time teleworking from their homes.

"We're committed to providing small businesses and teleworkers with fast, secure access to information--regardless of where they are--to be competitive," said Chris Lindsay, manager, new broadband propositions at BT Retail. "Our powerful combination of fast, always-on broadband service and Citrix GoToMyPC's fast, easy and secure access to desktops, will give small businesses and teleworkers the same level of speed and access as those in larger corporations, without the need for IT expertise and at a fraction of the cost."

BT Business Broadband customers will be able to purchase BT Remote Access Pack directly from the BT Business Website. With BT Remote Access Pack powered by Citrix GoToMyPC, users will have real-time access from anywhere to the full contents of their desktop computers, including all files and network connections, enabling them to work just as if they were sitting in front of their desktops. All billing and customer support will be handled by BT for seamless delivery and to create a one-stop shop for BT customers.

"We're delighted to be teaming up with BT. Based on our experience with leading ISPs in the United States, we are confident that best-in-class remote access will attract broadband users to BT and help in customer retention," said Mike Mansbach, vice president of business development and enterprise marketing at Citrix Online. "Like broadband, remote access has become a must-have for small businesses, and the combination of these services will provide an enormous boost to employee productivity."

Citrix GoToMyPC provides fast, easy and secure remote access to all files, applications and network resources over the Web. Advanced security controls--including one-time passwords, end-to-end user authentication, 128-bit end-to-end Advanced Encryption Standard, screen blanking and mouse locking of the host computer--ensure that network resources and information are never compromised, whether transferring files, obtaining e-mail or modifying documents.

Citrix GoToMyPC has won numerous awards for its performance and has been an industry favorite since its introduction. In 2004 alone, Citrix GoToMyPC received: PC World's World Class Award for Best Remote Access Software, Window's IT Pro Readers Choice Award for Best Remote Control Product, Computer Shopper Magazine's Best Remote Access Solution, Mobile PC Magazine's Mobile Choice Award and Laptop Magazine's Ultimate Choice Award.
