A Brief History of Citrix

---

Since 1989, Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) has established itself as a global leader in providing application server software and services for enterprises. Citrix's application server software and services offer the ability to run any application on virtually and device with any type of connection.

Citrix application server software and services enable organizations to run applications on servers that can be accessed from a variety of client devices. Since the applications are installed and updated on servers instead of on each individual client, the complexity, time, and resources required to manage the applications are reduced. Local and remote users can easily access the latest applications over the Internet or via other connections.

These are exciting times indeed for professionals involved in selling, implementing, and maintaining Citrix-based thin-client solutions. As reported in the March 27, 2000 edition of Business Week magazine, Citrix had the second-best three-year return on the S&P 500, up 4,911%.
