Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) September 12, 2004 -- Carefx Corporation, today announced their membership in the Citrix® Alliance Partner Program as a Charter Level Alliance Partner.

As the foundation of the Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite, Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server is the world’s most widely deployed presentation server for centrally managing heterogeneous applications and delivering their functionality as a service to workers, wherever they may be. Citrix MetaFrame Password Manager is an enterprise single sign-on solution that allows a user to authenticate once with a single password to gain access to a wide variety of password-protected information systems and applications, whether they are running in a Citrix access infrastructure environment or not. Fusionfx Context Manager supports workflow-context integration among a wide range of applications, including client-server, thin-client and Web-based environments. The Carefx suite of healthcare solutions will provide Citrix with the technology to deliver market-leading security solutions for the healthcare industry that are compliant with the HL7 organization’s CCOW (Clinical Context Object Workgroup) standard.

“Our SmoothRoaming capabilities enable Citrix computing environments to follow users across locations, devices and access outages. By coupling the SmoothRoaming benefits of MetaFrame Presentation Server and best-of-breed single sign-on capabilities of MetaFrame Password Manager with Carefx’s Context Management, physicians will now have the ability to work in a more flexible, productive and secure environment,“ said Barry Davis, Citrix Vice President of Corporate Development.
