Con-Way's Access Strategy Allows 9,000 Employees to Access

Shipping Information On Demand And Enables

Customers to Reap Big Rewards

Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in access infrastructure solutions, today announced that Con-Way Transportation Services, Inc. (Con-Way), the $2.2 billion trucking and logistics arm of CNF Inc. (NYSE:CNF), has expanded its information access strategy based on Citrix(R) MetaFrame(R) Presentation Server. In an industry where profit margins are slim and the best logistics wins, Con-Way is using Citrix access infrastructure to provide 9,000 employees with improved remote access to customer shipping information. Improved access to information is a core differentiation for Con-Way Transportation, and part of the strategy Con-Way employs to successfully handle more than 54,000 shipments for more than 400,000 customers each day.

Con-Way is using Citrix software to improve employee access to customer shipment information, make billing more flexible, correct invoices with greater speed and accuracy, and cut hardware costs. This improved information management translates to improved customer service. During its original deployment of Citrix access infrastructure in 2000, Con-Way rolled out more than 5,000 inexpensive Wyse(R) Winterm(TM) thin clients instead of full-featured PCs, which lowered its hardware costs by 40 percent.

By extending application and information access to users in all locations, Con-Way employees have access to up-to-date customer information. This improved access allows them to answer customer questions more quickly, and address potential customer problems in real-time.

"For nearly 10 years, Con-Way has differentiated its business by making it easy for employees and customers to access shipping and billing information," said Jackie Barretta, vice president of Information Services for Con-Way. "With Citrix access infrastructure we're able to gain greater competitive advantage by making critical information available at any time to any employee in any location. This is our access strategy and it's working well for us and yielding enormous benefits for our customers."

As a result of its focus on improving business performance through information technology, Con-Way was ranked by InformationWeek magazine in 2003 as the most innovative IT user of any shipping and logistics company in the United States. Con-Way's innovative approach to IT has delivered many results - substantial savings in IT costs, improved customer service, and state-of-the-art information management in an industry that rewards companies who use information access to their competitive advantage.
