The rising demands of working life are driving the need for flexibility and mobility as well as for better connectivity in the working place. Ensuring remote access to corporate data is still a great challenge for the IT departments of enterprises. Today’s employees need access to applications and company data any time and everywhere and they want to be able to use their PCs, notebooks, tablets or smartphones for work. Therefore IT departments need an effective solution for easy and cost effective management of IT applications across a range of devices.
In 1998 Factorias Vulcano began a project to consolidate the management of its IT applications. The company deployed Citrix Metaframe Servers to host corporate applications on central servers and allow remote access for users of the corporate network. The introduction of Citrix Metaframe enabled more than 75 users to get connected to a single OS and share ICT resources, resulting in significant cost efficiencies for the company.

Computers in classrooms have become an important part of education. It is clear that the use of digital media as well as personal computer training encourages independent learning on the Internet.
In recent years, the state of North Carolina announced ambitious goals to achieve one-to-one computer access for all its K-12 students and putting all assessment testing online. It’s a directive that’s tough for nearly any school’s budget, but even more so for Scotland County Schools.
Mostly rural, Scotland County, North Carolina, is one of the smallest counties in the state and the 16th poorest district in the nation. The 14 public schools within the county serve 6100 students. Only one third of their students have Internet access at home and many don’t have computers.

Haryana, a state located in northern India, comprises 21 districts. The state’s “ICT in Education” project – part of the government’s mission of transforming Haryana into an IT-driven economy – aims to introduce every student to computing to empower them with the skills to thrive in the modern world.
Computer skills are becoming as important as math, language and science education, and governments around the world are looking for the most efficient ways to provide computing access for their students.
The staff at Nkumba University, one of the few private chartered universities in Uganda, was facing an administrative nightmare. With a limited number of PCs and a university full of students eager to learn, how could they ensure that every student had sufficient access to the computer labs?
Budget restrictions, growing maintenance and electricity costs highlighted the need for an innovative solution to address the challenges that this progressive university faced.
Maharashtra is India’s second largest state and includes the city of Mumbai— India’s commercial capital. In order to ensure that its workforce is ready for the modern work place, the state government established the Maharashtra Knowledge Corporation Limited (MKCL) to provide adults with essential IT and computing skills. The MKCL fulfills its mission through a large network of learning centers across the state. The learning centers are operated by small and mid-sized IT enterprises.
The Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) is chartered by the Indian government to deliver insurance and healthcare benefits to over 20 million private- and public-sector employees. ESIC provides these services through over 2,000 facilities that include hospitals, dispensaries, and branch offices across India. ESIC’s IT systems were outdated and could not provide high-quality service to its stakeholders.
