Goleta, CA – June 2, 2008 – Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS), is in the running to receive two Stevie American Business Awards in the categories of Best New Product for Citrix® GoToAssist® remote support and Most Innovative Company for its on-demand applications for remote access, support and collaboration. Known as “the business world’s own Oscars,” the Awards selected only a fraction of the 2,600 entries as finalists.

We congratulate all of the finalists on their achievement and wish them well in the competition.”

The American Business Awards are the only national, all-encompassing awards program honoring great performances in business. Finalists were chosen by business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April through early May 2008.

“We are pleased to be recognized by the The Stevie Awards for our innovation in bringing to market simple remote access and collaboration solutions that enable our customers to innovate and be more competitive,” stated Brett Caine, president of Citrix Online. “It is especially gratifying to receive praise for GoToAssist.
