Perfetti Van Melle India : Citrix application for mobility

Previously PVM India was using VPN to connect their branches across India and

access business applications such as SAP, etc but the key challenge was the slow

speed of WAN due to latency. The company was first evaluating on doubling the

available bandwidth but finally decided to deploy Citrix and MS solutions for

delivering the applications over not just the WAN but the Internet as well, so

that anybody and everybody could access applications across the globe. In the

second phase, they provided the same number of EBAs directly on smartphones of

the management and key people in the organization. All these features were

achieved by using the Citrix Presentation Server along with Citrix Application

Gateway for secure data connections over the Internet and Citrix NetScaler for

bandwidth optimization. The backend was Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft

Exchange 2007, which provide DSingle Sign on to the EMA and push mailing for

users. The next level of development will be to deploy a company-wide portal

which will only provide a single interface for most of the existing EBAs but

will also handle the regular office workflow.
