The Only Citrix
PLATINUM GSA Holder in the Nation’s Capital Providing
Server-Based Computing Solutions to Strategic Private and
Public Sector Clients
December 1, 1999 - Reston, Virginia
Emergent OnLine, the leading Application Service Provider and
Citrix (Citrix Systems, Inc., Nasdaq: CTXS) consulting
integrator in the nation’s capital announced today that it has
been inducted to Citrix’s by-invitation only Platinum
Solutions Provider Network. There are only a handful of Citrix
Solutions Network Providers holding a Platinum designation
worldwide, each of which had been carefully selected from a
growing base of over 7,500 Citrix resellers globally.
"Emergent has been a successful member
of the Citrix Solutions Network since 1996, and we are pleased
to welcome the company to our Platinum-level program," said
Bill Burley, vice president, Americas for Citrix (Citrix
Systems, Inc., Nasdaq: CTXS). "As the highest-volume solutions
provider in Citrix's Washington, D.C. Metro territory last
quarter, as well as a Citrix Authorized Learning Center (CALC)
and upcoming Citrix Application Service Provider, Emergent has
demonstrated a strong commitment to our technology. We look
forward to working with them at the Platinum level to deliver
comprehensive server-based computing solutions to customers."
"For its foresight and innovation, we
had chosen Citrix as our exclusive server-based computing
solution", said Peter Ghostine, co-founder & CTO of Emergent.
"Over the last half decade, we built a focused Citrix
expertise into our own competitive advantage, and today
continue to leverage our knowledge to help our clients use
technology to outpace their competition".
"This proprietary practical knowledge,
developed over years of experience, along with a set of
proprietary best practices, tools and utilities engineered by
Emergent, and designed to enhance server-based computing",
said Paul Ghostine, co-founder and CEO, "give EOL a strategic
competitive advantage over other players in the industry".
"As a leading telecom joint venture
with a globally distributed workforce", said Paul Thomas,
Director of Information Technology for Concert Management
Services, "Emergent’s expert team helped us architect and
implement redundant, geographically distributed server-based
computing systems to support thousands of simultaneous users.
This architecture provides us 7x24 worldwide access to mission
critical applications and up to date information, while
reducing our bandwidth requirements, and minimizing our
application management and deployment challenges. We are happy
to see Emergent being rewarded with its new Platinum
designation".
