Globe-Trotting Scientists Rely on Market-Leading Service for Like-Being-There Experience

Instead of lugging paper files across six continents, Population Council researchers use Citrix® GoToMyPC® from Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), to retrieve data, files, and applications safely stored on their office computers. While traveling throughout the dozens of countries in which they work, staff members at this international, nonprofit research organization simply go online to retrieve, use, and save information as needed—enabling them to be more productive.

The Population Council conducts biomedical and social science research on HIV and AIDS; poverty, gender, and youth; and reproductive health.

“Our researchers are big fans of GoToMyPC because they get the same experience as sitting at their own office PCs, whether they’re in Thailand, Zambia, or just working at home,” said Stan Mierzwa, director of IT at the Population Council. “From any Web-connected PC or laptop, not only can we access files and centralized applications, but GoToMyPC is particularly useful for retrieving specialized desktop resources like statistical applications.”

The Population Council’s team of scientists has been working to develop a safe and effective microbicide to reduce the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Stephanie Skoler is the study manager for a clinical trial of the organization’s first-generation microbicide candidate, involving more than 6,000 women.

“I sometimes travel to Africa for a month at a time,” she said. “With GoToMyPC, I don’t need to bring paper or electronic files. And I love being able to file and save information in real-time, directly into my Outlook files or the files on my hard drive.” Remote access to applications and data has become an instrumental part of what researchers at the Population Council need to get their work done in a timely manner.

“Prior to employing GoToMyPC, our IT department had been reluctant to provide remote access to user desktops because of security concerns,” added Mierzwa. “But GoToMyPC gives us peace of mind with an advanced communication architecture, government-standard encryption, and other cutting-edge security measures.”

Being more productive enables the Population Council research team to make further progess toward achieving its mission. “GoToMyPC has provided Population Council researchers with a flexible and powerful tool,” said Mike Mansbach, vice president of business development and enterprise marketing at Citrix Online. “Whether addressing the challenge to improve AIDS treatment programs in sub-Saharan Africa, to provide better education for girls in Southeast Asia, or to create a more effective safe-motherhood program in Latin America, the Population Council can rely on GoToMyPC’s ease of use and security for real-time access to their office files and information.”

New York–based social scientist Saumya RamaRao, a reproductive health program team leader, agreed. “I use it in Senegal, on the Upper East Side, and in Washington, DC, and I don’t have to worry about coordinating varying versions of documents on my laptop, key drive, and hard drive. GoToMyPC can even eliminate the need for a laptop altogether—all I need is an Internet cafe.”
