Remote imaging support for digital cameras and scanners • Users can quickly store and process digital images captured in the field by sending them securely over the Internet to a central application. For example, an insurance claims adjuster working from the road after hours could conveniently store high-resolution images directly onto his central claim handling software without the need to coordinate the work through someone at the main office. Bi-directional audio support • Dictations, training programs, and other audio-driven applications can be used remotely while all recording, processing and storage occurs at the central computer site. A roaming therapist, for example, could dictate patient observations directly into her small clinic’s server where the recordings can be backed up without concern that they will be lost or overwritten. New security certificate retrieval wizard • Makes it easy for those unfamiliar with security certificates to set up secure remote access • Accelerates time to get secure remote access enabled by allowing temporary certificates to be used while waiting for an outside certificate authority to issue permanent certificates • Allows local domain certificates to be requested easily, expediting secure remote access setup when not using outside certificate authorities New printer wizard • Makes it easy to set up local and remote printers for users in and out of the main site Ability to set application launch limits per server or per user • Helps organizations adhere to license limits for their applications • Prevents users from launching two copies of the application unintentionally when double clicking on the application icon • Allows single-user applications, such as accounting packages, to be used locally or remotely in a multi-user server without worry that someone else will launch a conflicting copy Addition of Citrix SpeedBrowse technology • Speeds up performance for users running a centrally published and secured Web browser More than 1,000 small businesses have already adopted Access Essentials since its introduction just over six months ago. In particular, growth has come from emerging markets such as Central Europe where small businesses are eager to have employees enter orders, bill customers, schedule resources, manage accounts, and generally run their Windows-based line-of-business applications from outside the office. The software, available through over 1,500 authorized resellers, is attractively priced for smaller businesses. “It’s quite a thrill to see how effective small companies quickly become when they can run their programs remotely with Citrix Access Essentials,” said Keith Turnbull, SMB Product Line vice president, Access Management Group, Citrix. “The enhanced capabilities in this new version make it even easier for timely and accurate information – even rich multimedia content – to flow between those in the office and those away from it.” Pricing and Availability Citrix Access Essentials 1.5 will be available beginning April 7, 2006 through Citrix® Solution Advisors. Pricing starts at $1,245 per five user connection pack with Citrix Subscription Advantage™ which entitles a company to the latest releases of the software for one year. Microsoft TS CALs are also included in this base price. Read more here.
