Citrix partners combine to expedite performance-ensured MetaFrame implementations

April 08, 2003, Edinburgh, UK and Washington, DC, USA
Today at FOSE, in the US nation’s capital, Scapa® Technologies Limited, a supplier of innovative load and stress testing solutions for commercial software systems, announced today that Emergent OnLine (EOL), the highest-rated Citrix® (NASDAQ: CTXS) Platinum consulting partner in the United States, has joined the Scapa Expedite partner program. The agreement between the two companies, both Premier members of the Citrix Business Alliance™, will ensure the performance of Citrix implementations and upgrades for Emergent OnLine’s customers.

Scapa Technologies’ Scapa Expedite program has been designed to support and promote the work of members of the Citrix Solutions Network™, such as EOL. Central to the Scapa Expedite program, is the company’s primary tool, Scapa StressTest, which allows organizations to test their own specific environments in real time, without impacting on the productivity of the systems’ users. Under the terms of the agreement, Emergent OnLine, becomes the exclusive representative of Scapa Technologies in the Mid-Atlantic region, and will add Scapa StressTest to its GSA schedule and other government procurement vehicles.

Paul Ghostine, CEO, EOL, commented, “By joining the Scapa Expedite program, we can build additional confidence into our Citrix MetaFrame® implementations and upgrades, ensuring our customers of smooth deployment and upgrade processes. We believe that the addition of Scapa StressTest to our product set will support our continuing objectives of delivering strategic solutions that provide added value and sustainable competitive advantage to our customers.”

Scapa StressTest for Citrix MetaFrame has been available since March 2002 and continues to be the most effective and comprehensive tool available for stress testing this application serving technology. The tool is used by Citrix partners and end-users alike to complete systems changes confidently and within expected timescales, ensure scalability and performance, determine hardware requirements and measure the effects of deploying different applications and adding users in MetaFrame environments accurately.

Phil Sayers, Scapa Technologies’ VP of Sales, said, "There is a high level of synergy between EOL and Scapa Technologies, we are both Citrix partners and, as such, are concerned with providing exceptional products and services to our customers. EOL’s credentials speak for themselves, the company has gained wide recognition as a leading IT consulting integration firm through its unrivaled technical expertise, and has been recognized as the top Citrix Platinum partner in North America for for the last four years.”
