Citrix application delivery system helps Sedar Emirates in efficient branch office management

Sedar Emirates is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company dealing in designer window coverings and accessories. Established in 1975, Sedar is one of the largest and leading brands in curtains, blinds, folding doors etc. in Middle East . They are known for their commitment to quality and customer service. They have showrooms in all the major cities of UAE and Saudi Arabia with head office in Dubai.

When the business is so wide spread, the most challenging job is the management. When Sedar management implemented Orion Application in their head office, they wanted all the showrooms to be able to access applications securely without compromising on the speed of exchange. Not only did they need a good solution to this, but also an efficient technology partner who would understand their requirement and provide consultation for the best suited option as well as help them in designing and deploying the system.

Solutions ME, one of the elite names in Middle East offering IT and technology solutions assisted Sedar. Saif Khan, Citrix Consultant at SME acted as the consultant/project manager. His first and foremost job was to understand Sedar's requirement and then suggest a reliable and feasible solution for the same. Saif suggested them to go ahead with the Citrix Platform as their requirement was secure and faster access to applications. He noted that with expansion plans for the showrooms, Citrix Application makes more sense for Sedar Emirates as it does not require any client side deployment and the roll out of new outlets will be immediate and the IT dept. will be less burdened.

Sedar got what they were looking for – Citrix as the solution which is an end-to-end Windows application delivery system that offers both client-side and server-side application virtualization, for optimal application performance and flexible delivery options and Solutions ME as the best technology partner who made this job as easy as a child's play. They opted to take 15 licenses initially and went on to add 20 more licenses taking the requirement to 35 users.
