Well, now our time clocks will be able to speak WinFrame/ICA.... FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 6, 1998--Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) and Kronos(R) Incorporated (NASDAQ:KRON) today announced a joint marketing agreement to promote Citrix WinFrame(R) thin-client/server software and Kronos Timekeeper(R) C/S Version 2A. As part of the agreement, Kronos has joined the Citrix Business Alliance program, a growing coalition of industry vendors who are working to develop complementary products and markets for WinFrame thin-client/server software in the areas of remote/branch office computing, cross-platform computing, Web computing and thin-client/server computing. Kronos Timekeeper C/S software, a client/server-based time and labor management application, simplifies the control of labor costs, which are generally an organization's largest variable expense. Citrix WinFrame thin-client/server software helps organizations reduce total cost of application ownership through centralized deployment and management of line-of-business applications such as Kronos' Timekeeper C/S, to a wide range of client hardware operating platforms and user locations.

With WinFrame thin-client/server software, our customers can gain high-performance access to our solution from almost anywhere, over any type of device. Now our customers are able to extend the use of our time and labor management product throughout their entire organization. This allows them to not only leverage their investment in their existing IT infrastructure, but also to operate more efficiently because the entire enterprise is using the same business application." "In today's world of heterogeneous computing environments with diverse network connections, operating platforms and hardware, finding a great client/server business application is often just half the solution," said Barry Davis, director of alliance marketing for Citrix. "Companies are looking for manageable and secure ways to deploy these mission-critical applications throughout the extended enterprise. Citrix's goal is to provide users easy and cost efficient access to mission-critical applications. We look forward to providing our mutual customers the best of thin-client/server computing."
