Citrix Lightens the Load for Mobile Workers.

Survey Shows One-Third of Workers Lug Between Two and Four Devices to Access the Applications They Need While Traveling; Citrix Provides Alternatives By Virtualizing Application Delivery

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in access infrastructure solutions, today released findings from research into mobile work routines that reveal cell phones, laptops and personal digital assistants (PDAs) along with requisite power chargers and cords are a growing burden for mobile workers to haul on business trips away from the office. The findings show a trend of bags and pockets weighed down by a web of cords, computers and entertainment electronics. Citrix offers ways for mobile workers to slim down with device-independent, secure access to business critical applications anytime, anywhere.

According to the research survey of more than 700 respondents, two out of five mobile employees carry multiple devices with them on trips away from the office. Almost three-quarters of workers on-the-go carry cell phones, making it the most popular mobile device. More than a third of workers carry between two and four devices, while the top six percent of the mobile worker population lugged five, six or even seven devices. Overall, almost a quarter of all mobile workers carries three or more devices with them at a time.

To help alleviate this growing issue, Citrix provides flexible access infrastructure that makes it easier to connect people to applications and information from any location, with any device, over any network, with the best possible access experience. Through technologies such as application virtualization, companies can reduce the number of devices mobile workers have to carry by giving employees access to applications and information back in the data center through any network connection.

"Companies are investing heavily to help their employees be productive while they're on the road, but these findings show mobility sometimes makes traveling more complicated -- especially with today's emphasis on airport security. In addition to hindering mobile workers at security checkpoints with the bulk of cords and power bricks, traditional desktop applications these workers need may be trapped on laptops or in the corporate data center, and not as easily accessible as travelers require," said Scott Herren, group vice president and general manager, Virtualization Systems Group, Citrix Systems. "Citrix is a company entirely focused on giving employees access to applications from any device. Our goal is to free employees from their devices and untying applications from infrastructure. Citrix enables business applications and data to follow employees wherever they work with no heavy equipment to weigh them down."

The survey of more than 700 nationally representative Americans who travel for work was conducted by Kelton Research between June 20, 2006 and July 3, 2006 using an e-mail invitation and an online survey. Quotas were set to ensure reliable and accurate representation of the total U.S. population, 18 years of age and older. The survey has a 95 percent confidence rate with a margin of error of 3.7 percent. Electronic devices included in this research were laptops, cell phones, PDAs, music players and headsets and personal DVD players.
