RES Software Recognized for its Ability to Enhance Citrix Deployments and
Maximize Success of Citrix Delivery Platforms

Philadelphia, PA, May 25, 2011 — RES Software, the proven leader in dynamic desktop solutions, today announced that it has been elevated to Citrix Ready® Leadership Partner as a result of the positive impact its technology has on  IT’s ability to manage the user experience across Citrix desktop virtualization solutions. The combination of RES software with Citrix XenDesktop® has enabled joint-customers to achieve maximum returns on their investments and helped new customers more rapidly transform their desktops into an on-demand service.

With the advent of virtualized and cloud delivery approaches as well as new devices, such as tablets, the need for an enhanced management solution that can maintain user personalization across all platforms and emerging hybrid desktop environments has become a key requirement for organizations. RES Software offers customers a solution to unify the user experience across Citrix XenDesktop, Citrix XenApp™, Citrix XenClient™ and a traditional desktop. RES Software consolidates the delivery of user settings, data, personalization and printers to one central administration point, regardless of the platform, while ensuring that a user’s personalization is seamlessly migrated during upgrades or introductions of new delivery technologies.

“RES Software has been a long-standing Citrix Ready partner and the elevation to a Leadership Partner is a testament to the value they bring to Citrix desktop virtualization solutions,” said Gordon Payne, senior vice president and general manager, Desktop Division at Citrix. “RES is field-proven to enhance Citrix desktop virtualization and offers a comprehensive solution for customers looking to unify user settings and personalization across their desktop environments, regardless of delivery method or device.”

“We consider RES Software a critical addition to our Citrix XenApp environment, and we would not be able to manage the user experience anywhere nearly as effectively without it,” said Mark Holley, IT Director of Utah-based Bank of American Fork. “As we continue to introduce more Citrix application and desktop virtualization technology into our infrastructure, we will keep RES Software as the layer above that delivery stack, making sure our users are getting the optimal experience every time they access their device.”

RES Software Dynamic Desktop Studio is a centralized point through which IT can automate all of the tasks associated with managing and securing the user state, desktop, applications and data across the array of Citrix FlexCast delivery models. RES Workspace Manager dynamically composes a personalized, secure and context-aware workspace in environments where applications are delivered using Citrix technology. RES Automation Manager allows customers to fully realize the benefits of their Citrix solution by converting repetitive and manual tasks into runbooks, which then become highly repeatable “best practices.” In addition, Automation Manager provides a self-service module that enables IT to offer applications and other resources in a secure, context-aware fashion — requiring much less hands-on “touch” from desktop support personnel. Customers have found that leveraging Automation Manager can cut manual tasks down by upwards of 95 percent, greatly reducing the cost and complexity in managing the end user’s workspace in new hybrid desktop environments. 

“The rapid adoption of new delivery platforms has generated many benefits, but with the addition of each new technology, managing the end-user experience becomes exponentially more daunting,” said Klaus Besier, CEO of RES Software. “Today’s hybrid delivery environments require increased automated user management capabilities. With solutions like RES Dynamic Desktop Studio, IT can minimize time spent overseeing the user experience and truly maximize the benefits of virtualization.”

RES Software has been a Citrix partner for more than ten years with the company’s full product line verified as Citrix Ready. RES Software also recently joined the Citrix Desktop Transformation Model initiative, which is designed to help businesses quickly realize the many business benefits of desktop virtualization. For a demo of RES Software and more information on how it maximizes the value of Citrix desktop virtualization solutions, visit the RES Software booth #308 at Citrix Synergy 2011 this week. The company will also be hosting a presentation on its ability to enhance FlexCast deployments on Thursday, May 26 at 2:00 p.m. in room SYN602.
