Our Solution

Roplab used Citrix Presentation Servers running on Windows 2003 server, integrated into an existing Active Directory Structure. The applications were served via a published desktop and Citrix Web Interface, which was locked down through extensive group policies. Many issues were overcome to implement suite of applications into a Citrix multi-user environment. As further value-additions, other standard applications like Microsoft Office were installed to augment centralised control and administration.
