JEFF MCNAUGHT KICKS OFF CA WORLD

McNaught, vice president of marketing for Wyse Technology, will join with key partner National Semiconductor to address an audience of CIOs, CTOs, systems/networking managers, MIS directors and senior analysts as part of National's Thin Client Summit event. His presentation will focus on the benefits of thin-client computing for a broad spectrum of industries, and highlight the three key benefits which are now being recognized by real world customers: reduced total cost of ownership, centralized management, and rapid device and application deployment.

"Wyse and National Semiconductor are both pioneers in the thin-client industry, working from different areas of expertise to provide the most effective thin-client solutions for our customers," said McNaught. "Thin clients are the ideal solution for organizations of varying sizes to help reduce the total cost of ownership while easing the burden on today's limited and costly IT support staffs. Best of all, users who standardize on leading management packages such as CA's Unicenter can feel confident knowing that Wyse thin clients are plug-and-play compatible within their existing IT infrastructure, and can be managed in the same way as a desktop PC."
