Party On! Citrix Online Makes Bipartisan Offer to Beat Convention City Congestion
Denver and Minneapolis-Saint Paul Area Commuters Can Exercise Their Freedom to Work Remotely – Using Free Online Services
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – August 13, 2008 – Citrix Online is offering Denver and Minneapolis-Saint Paul residents the freedom to assemble – online – to avoid traffic congestion during the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. Instead of driving to work, residents can connect to their office PCs and meet with colleagues online – using Citrix® GoToMyPC® and Citrix® GoToMeeting®.
The services are free to area residents for 45 days. Using GoToMyPC, employees can quickly and securely connect to their office computers and access everything on their desktops. GoToMeeting lets up to 15 people hold online discussions and share their computer screens, from any Internet-connected computer. The offer is designed to enable convention city workers to conduct business as usual, without getting caught up in traffic jams, road closures and other business distractions.
“Instead of commuting on congested roadways, workers in Denver and Minneapolis-Saint Paul can elect to ‘Web commute’ using the Internet,” said Bernardo de Albergaria, vice president and general manager, Global Marketing and eCommerce for Citrix Online. “It’s very easy to use our services and no training is required. During the convention disruptions, people can continue to work, yet travel less. And with free use for 45 days, all parties win.”
