Achievements in Vision, Marketing Excellence and Distribution
Today at Citrix Summit, Citrix (NASDAQ: CTXS) announced the
recipients of the Citrix Service Provider partner awards presented
at a reception on January 12, 2015 in Las Vegas. The awards
recognize the 2014 achievements of Citrix Service Provider partners
based on overall Desktops-as-a-Service (DaaS) revenue growth,
customer satisfaction, technology implementations, thought
leadership and marketing achievements.
At the service provider reception sponsored by Cisco, Citrix
recognized the selected award winners in three categories:
Simplified Innovations for Partner Visionary, TekLinks for
Marketing Excellence and ADN – Advanced Digital Network
Distribution GmbH for the Distributor award.
Partner Visionary Award Highlights
Nominees in the Partner Visionary category demonstrated
outstanding vision and thought leadership, and applied the Citrix
Service Provider reference architecture to deliver a highly
scalable DaaS solution. The Partner Visionary award winner was
Simplified Innovations, based in Baltimore, MD. Taking a
cloud-based approach, Simplified Innovations has combined Citrix
technologies that include XenDesktop, XenApp, NetScaler,
CloudPortal Services Manager and Podio to deliver business-ready
workspaces that are optimized for certified public accounting (CPA)
firms.
In the seven years since its creation, Simplified Innovations
has become nationally recognized for delivering powerful CPA and
accounting applications and technology, and company experts have
been selected to speak at local and national industry conferences.
With its small, but highly-skilled staff, Simplified Innovations
delivers secure, customized accounting workspaces to hundreds of
users spread across the United States. The firm has built a loyal
following among accounting firms by delivering the complex
accounting applications its customers need, while easing the burden
of managing that technology.
Marketing Excellence Award Highlights
Citrix Service Provider partners in this category have
successfully built a unique market focus and have innovatively
driven execution, demand generation, external communication
activities and customer satisfaction. The Marketing Excellence
award winner was TekLinks, headquartered in Birmingham, AL.
TekLinks drove DaaS subscriber growth with a marketing plan that
embraced digital and social, media, search engine optimization
marketing (SEO/SEM), video and traditional marketing.
With a healthcare vertical focus, TekLinks teamed with
independent software vendor Greenway Health to offer secure hosted
electronic medical records and electronic health records (EMR/EMH)
software directly to physician practices, moving patient data to
the powerful TekLinks cloud. TekLinks marketing and compelling
workspaces have placed the firm among just 12 service providers
listed on all three major industry rankings in 2014, including the
MSPmentor 501, Talkin’ Cloud 100 and Solution Provider 500. A
Diamond Validated Citrix Service Provider, TekLinks combines Citrix
XenDesktop, XenApp, NetScaler and CloudPortal Services Manager in
an implementation based on the Citrix Service Provider Reference
Architecture.
Distributor Award Highlights
In 2014, Citrix Service Provider program distributors drove
tremendous growth through educating Microsoft Service Provider
License Agreement (SPLA) partners regarding the compelling value of
adding Citrix hosted business-ready workspaces to their existing
customer base to fuel new revenues and acquire new customers. The
Distributor award winner is ADN – Advanced Digital Network
Distribution GmbH, based in Bochum, Germany. ADN is focused on
driving solid growth from its most productive partners. By
compiling a broad portfolio of service provider license programs
under the label “Cloud für Systemhäuser” centered on the Microsoft
SPLA program, ADN supported partner efforts to create
differentiated business-ready workspace offerings.
Quotes:
Mitch Parker, Vice President and General Manager, Cloud
Services Group, Citrix
“The Citrix Service Provider program awards capped a year of
tremendous growth, as our subscription business expanded
dramatically to serve more than 500,000 users, a tremendous
achievement for our hosted partner program. The selection committee
evaluated dozens of nominations from four continents, including
North America, Europe, Africa and Australia. It was very difficult
to narrow the finalists to three top providers in each category.
Congratulations to Simplified Innovations, TekLinks and ADN for
their outstanding achievements and their efforts in making 2014 a
record year for growth in the service provider market with apps,
desktops and data as a service.”
