Rove Unveils Mobile Citrix Client 2.0 at Citrix iForum 2007
Company Launches Upgrade to Award-Winning Software
Citrix iForum- October 22, 2007 - OTTAWA - Rove Mobile Inc., the
world's leading provider of business and IT software for handhelds, today
announced the launch of its Mobile Citrix Client 2.0, the newest version of the
popular software client for BlackBerry® devices. Mobile Citrix Client, which
allows users to securely access any Windows application published on a Citrix
Presentation Server TM, offers a number of significant upgrades with this latest
release. Most notably, Rove's Mobile Citrix Client 2.0 supports a Secure Gateway
connection and its new Web interface utilizes less bandwidth and incorporates
more intuitive features, making the Mobile Citrix Client faster more and easy to
use.
By mobilizing applications, Rove's Mobile Citrix Client helps users increase
their business responsiveness and productivity. Users have access to any of the
thousands of applications that can be published on a Citrix Server, including
Microsoft Office Suite, SAP, PeopleSoft, Lotus Notes, Crystal Reports, Cognos
management tools and any other custom application. The previous version of
Rove's Mobile Citrix Client was named the grand prize winner at the Blackberry
Developer Challenge earlier this summer, a major competition sponsored by RIM
and AT&T.
"The mobile workforce needs secure access to key business information and
applications from anywhere," said Stacy Sudan, Research Analyst, with IDC's
Mobile Enterprise Software program. "A product such as Rove's Mobile Citrix
Client can enable companies to save on the costs of developing and implementing
custom mobile applications."
"Demand for our Mobile Citrix Client application has been very strong since we
first introduced the product earlier this year," said Rob Woodbridge, President
and CEO, Rove. "Our drive for continuous improvement enables our users to
experience more robust and intuitive features as we continue to proactively
address customer demands. Version 2.0 will allow our customers to maximize their
resources with even greater convenience and ease of use."
"Mobile Citrix Client enables our executive decision makers the ability to truly
free themselves from their desks and implement changes to our worldwide
operations," said Stacey Tenen, IS Security and Compliance Specialist, Tropical
Shipping USA. "Being able to access our core applications off campus improves
the efficiency and accuracy of those decisions and makes us better able to
compete in the international marketplace. The new web interface gives our IT
operation more flexibility in how we offer these services - choice is always a
step in the right direction."
Rove will be demonstrating Mobile Citrix Client 2.0 at booth #S318 at Citrix
iForum between October 22nd and 25th. To schedule a private interview, contact
