Toronto, ON (PRWEB) November 25, 2007 -- PROPHIX Software, a leading provider of financial business intelligence and performance management solutions specializing in forecasting, corporate budgeting, strategic planning, consolidation, financial analysis and scorecarding, has successfully demonstrated compatibility with Citrix solutions and has been admitted into the Citrix Ready initiative. Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in application delivery infrastructure, introduced Citrix Ready as an initiative to help customers identify third-party solutions that add the greatest value in Citrix-driven environments.

This new initiative draws from Citrix's rich ecosystem of Global Alliance Partners who provide a wide range of hardware and software products that complement Citrix application delivery solutions. PROPHIX, who met the verification requirements and enrolled in the program, will gain significant marketing and sales reach through Citrix programs and by featuring the Citrix Ready logo directly on hardware and software products as well as on packaging and promotions.

The new Citrix Ready business-to-business e-catalog highlighted on www.citrix.com connects participating vendors with customers, providing customers with information as well as the ability to share reviews and comments on the solutions.

"Citrix Ready makes it easier for customers to select the best application delivery products and solutions for their specific needs from the large number of complementary solutions developed by Citrix's extensive eco-system of partners," said David Jones, corporate vice president, business development, for Citrix. "Citrix Ready offers customers an additional measure of confidence in the quality of solutions that our partners bring to the marketplace."

The initiative currently supports Citrix Presentation Server™ 4 (32 and 64-bit versions), Citrix Password Manager™ 4.5 and Citrix® NetScaler®. Third party products that receive the Citrix Ready designation have successfully met verification criteria set by Citrix. Solution sets containing Citrix and third party products that address specific vertical market needs or specific IT capabilities can also be designated as Citrix Ready.

"Citrix Ready dramatically increases our visibility to Citrix customers and channels, clearly demonstrating our commitment to providing financial business intelligence and performance management solutions that complement and add value to Citrix products, and supports our revenue goals," said Massimo Galati, Director of Product Management, PROPHIX Software.

"The offering also provides the basis for a community in which vendors and customers can interact and share information through the dedicated Citrix Ready e-marketplace."
