I'm doing this from memory of a conference call 3-4 quarters ago where this story was relayed. One of the Citrix Board members asked another Board member if his company (Ford Motor) was a Citrix customer. Embarrassed, he said that he didn't know, but he would find out. Later, he reported back that Ford was indeed a Citrix customer, but they had purchased it from and were supported by 10 different VARs, NONE of whom this guy had even heard of. Oh, he was the Ford CIO! What a revelation. If that doesn't validate their refocus on embracing the enterprise, I don't know what does. I mentioned earlier their realignment of their sales force. Citrix is also sold and supported by IBM and Computer Sciences. They also recently signed up two major systems integrators... Grumman amd Schlumberger. Plus, government is a big customer, and will continue to be a major source of growth. After all, there is no bigger enterprise than the G!
