Previously PVM India was using VPN to connect their branches across India and access business applications such as SAP, etc but the key challenge was the slow speed of WAN due to latency. The company was first evaluating on doubling the available bandwidth but finally decided to deploy Citrix and MS solutions for delivering the applications over not just the WAN but the Internet as well, so that anybody and everybody could access applications across the globe. In the second phase, they provided the same number of EBAs directly on smartphones of the management and key people in the organization. All these features were achieved by using the Citrix Presentation Server along with Citrix Application Gateway for secure data connections over the Internet and Citrix NetScaler for bandwidth optimization. The backend was Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Exchange 2007, which provide DSingle Sign on to the EMA and push mailing for users. The next level of development will be to deploy a company-wide portal which will only provide a single interface for most of the existing EBAs but will also handle the regular office workflow.
