Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 24, 2003

Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in access infrastructure solutions, today announced that Jeanne Moreno, CIO and senior vice president, corporate services, has been selected by the editors of TechTarget's SearchSAP.com to be featured in a one-on-one "Executive Connection" interview at the second annual SearchSAP.com Conference taking place this week in Chicago, Ill. The conference, which requires prospective attendees to meet strict qualification criteria, is expected to draw over 400 executive-level SAP customers. During her interview with TechTarget conference chair Paul Gillin, Moreno will discuss the benefits of access infrastructure for the on-demand enterprise, the strategy behind the Citrix(R) MetaFrame(R) Access Suite and overall Citrix market perspective. The interview will be held Thursday, September 25, at 2:15 p.m.

Recently recognized with the Member's Choice Top 25 Gold Star Award from SAP FAQ, a 15,000-member online community, Citrix had the greatest positive impact on members' SAP implementations over the past year and helped SAP customers become on-demand enterprises. Joint Citrix/SAP customers can dramatically reduce the complexity of their IT environments, improve application performance, lower implementation and management costs, increase end-user flexibility and enable secure, easy and instant access to enterprise applications and information from anywhere, at anytime, using any device over any network.

"Citrix is a leading vendor in its market, and its reputation among SAP customers makes Jeanne Moreno an excellent choice for an Executive Connection," said Paul Gillin, vice president of editorial at TechTarget. "The company's enterprise access infrastructure strategy presents cost benefit options that our delegates will find of interest."

The increasing heterogeneity of today's enterprise computing environments poses significant challenges for CIOs and their staffs, with the latest technologies - such as Web-based applications and Web services - often being deployed alongside previous generations of IT. The Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite centralizes access to applications and information and enables IT staffs to deliver, manage, monitor and measure enterprise resources on demand. This can simplify the complexity and reduce the costs of deploying and administering hundreds of heterogeneous applications and delivering a consistent - and secure - access experience for workers regardless of location, computing device or network connection.

"More than 120,000 organizations are leveraging the competitive advantages of Citrix access infrastructure for the on-demand enterprise. We're proud that SAP is one of those customers," said Moreno. "We are committed to giving our joint Citrix/SAP customers enterprise access solutions that simplify IT, cut costs and increase employee productivity and overall business agility. Given the increasingly mobile and distributed workforce, access infrastructure is more urgently needed than ever by companies who want to stay competitive. I'm delighted for the opportunity to deliver this message at The SearchSAP.com Conference."
