Supporting Printing is Tough

Simplify Printing TX to the Rescue!

Mobility is upon us

Determining a Product Fit

• Do you still see issues with printing in Citrix?

• Do you have a mixed environment (Citrix + Vmware, etc)?

• Are your users accessing Citrix from a tablet? While on the road?

• Are you allowing, explicitly or not, BYOD?

• Would it make sense for your users to have a single ubiquitous solution to printing?
