Is this a big deaL? why? I am still a little confused. <<<"Today`s announcement really opens the gates for mobile e-business strategies," said Claes Bergstedt, Commercial Director for Psion Enterprise Computing. "Psion and Symbian support for Citrix` ICA lowers the barriers for customers that want to go mobile. Citrix already enjoys a large installed base and so, with the help of the Psion mobile computing devices, these customers now have a simple means of extending their applications beyond the desktop. Because ICA gives access to any of today`s standard enterprise applications, every type of business can now bring their mobile staff into the e-business fold." "This new solution will for the first time mobilise today`s enterprise workforce and allow them to access and use mainstream data resources," said Colly Myers, CEO of Symbian. "With recent initiatives such as the Citrix NFuse application portal, the Citrix ICA solution is a perfect fit for companies that wish to give their workforce more freedom to roam. In today`s marketplace this is an increasingly critical factor, and Symbian, Psion and Citrix have just made it a reality." Citrix ICA-enabled Psion devices will allow mobile field workers such as service engineers, medical staff and financial field executives to achieve the same level of productivity 5,000 miles from the office as they would at their desks. When accessed via Psion devices, Citrix application server software mobilises the functionality of line-of-business and personal productivity applications - such as CRM, ERP and standard office applications. As a result, the solution removes any need for users to synchronise data between multiple computing devices as they change their location and allows any application type - such as Windows, UNIX or Java - to be accessed via a single Psion device. Coupled with new initiatives such as Citrix NFuse - a new technology for enabling applications to be `published` and integrated across the web - enterprises will now also be able to provide Psion device users with a `portal` from which to access applications. This will allow users to access and subscribe to mission-critical data through a standard web-browser interface, regardless of their location, network connection and also of where and on what server platform these back-end application resources reside.>>
