Sports Magazine Editor Relies on Citrix GoToMyPC for Remote Access

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – April 8, 2008 – The editor-in-chief and webmaster for Bass West USA magazine may spend up to five days a week fishing from his 225 horsepower Legend bass boat – but he doesn’t neglect business. Wherever his tackle box takes him, Tom Leogrande relies on Citrix GoToMyPC from Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), to remotely access his office desktop. He can immediately handle business issues for his magazine and the company’s two online and three brick-and-mortar stores while pursuing his dream of becoming a national tour bass fisherman.

“Using GoToMyPC, my laptop and an Internet connection through my cell phone, I can look at magazine layouts and collaborate with tournament directors on how to post results to our Website – all from the deck of my boat,” said Leogrande. “Instead of being anchored to my office PC, I can combine work and fishing.”

Escaping the office clock and cubicle are the most appealing aspects of working from an offsite location. Remote workers like Leogrande, called “telecommuters” in the 1980s and 90s, are today more aptly dubbed “Web commuters” for their growing reliance on the Internet. That’s according to “Web Commuting & the American Workforce,” a nationwide survey conducted by the polling company, inc. and sponsored by Citrix Online.

As a computer science graduate and former software developer, Leogrande appreciates the powerful technology behind the ease of use of GoToMyPC. As a businessman, he values the 20 to 40 hours per month he saves by working remotely instead of constantly driving to the stores. And as a lifelong angler, he loves the flexibility of being able to work on the water.

A subscription service, GoToMyPC enables professionals like Leogrande to use any resources on their office or home desktop just as though they were sitting in front of their PC. Connection takes less than two minutes and security is ensured with an end-to-end encrypted connection.

GoToMyPC even allows Leogrande to prepare for and participate in demanding bass fishing tournaments such as the Wal-Mart FLW Series while staying in touch with the office. “To compete, you need to pre-fish the tournament locations and of course, practice all the time,” he explained. “Without GoToMyPC, I couldn’t work and also move to the next level of competitive bass fishing.”

“Tom Leogrande’s ability to combine his vocation and avocation is a great example of how GoToMyPC can raise productivity, dismiss geographical barriers and free up time for the really important things in life – like fishing,” said Bernardo de Albergaria, vice president and general manager, eCommerce, for Citrix Online. “He can stay on the move and take the office with him wherever he goes.”
