Synergy Development is a Citrix Solutions Network Partner. We have been providing consulting expertise and implementing Citrix systems for almost a decade in all environments spanning from as little as 6 users to as much as 6,000 users.

Among the most important benefits, Thin/Client solutions deliver ROI and cost reduction. In today’s economic downturn, organizations are looking for rapid returns from their technology implementations, as well as solutions that can lower the cost of computing. Many companies that seek the efficiencies of centralized application management and deployment have adopted Thin/Client technology software and services.

Analyze the economic impact of using a Citrix® Solution.
Application Computing Environment (ACE) is a Web-based tool developed specifically to analyze the economic impact of Citrix solutions on an organization’s application computing environment.

This powerful yet easy to use tool compares a Citrix-based solution composed of all or some of Citrix’s products to both managed and unmanaged PC desktop environments. The tool provides insight into the comparative cost structures of these two computing approaches:

• Desktop computing model using managed and unmanaged PCs
• Server-based computing using the Citrix application serving model

Given the priority on lowering cost and optimizing available IT budget dollars, it has never been more important to carry out careful research. The goal of the ACE Cost Analyzer is to assist you, the user, in analyzing a plethora of cost factors so that you are able to make an intelligent purchase decision.

The tool has a flexible architecture that allows the users to enter in their own unique inputs wherever necessary. As you will soon discover, this results in a detailed array of professional looking reports that reflect the unique reality of your organization. Included in the report section are numerous cost breakdown tables and charts that you can reference while evaluating whether or not to go forward with a Citrix application serving solution. If you need assistance using this powerful tool, feel free to contact our offices at (305)652-5699
