CARY, N.C., Feb. 18, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cicero Inc. (OTCBB:CICN), a leading provider of desktop integration and automation solutions, today announced a new, flexible integration solution that will give customers using Citrix(r) XenApp(tm) and Citrix XenDesktop(tm) enhanced non-invasive application integration capabilities.
Using Cicero, companies can quickly integrate their line-of-business applications with desktop productivity tools and web-based information sources to create a unified desktop, all without changing any of the applications or replacing any of the familiar interfaces.
This new solution further blurs the boundary between the client and the server, providing robust integration of disparate applications no matter where they are running, enabling the progressive enterprise to leverage virtualization technology to full effect while at the same time protecting investment in legacy systems and streamlining access to new information sources.
Cicero can also be used to create new composite applications from existing applications, create and consume web services and extend the functionality of legacy systems in support of Service-Oriented Architecture. Additionally, Cicero allows companies to consolidate data, streamline business processes, enforce rules and compliance, as well as add functionality - such as single sign-on - without having to purchase new applications.
"One of the key issues in application delivery today is the growing demand by users to access information across applications," said Mick Hollison, vice president of XenApp product marketing at Citrix. "The availability of Cicero's application integration solution helps to enhance our application and desktop delivery products, allowing our customers to quickly and easily deliver applications on-demand to users anywhere and leveraging the full benefits of virtualization technology."
"We are pleased to provide this new solution to our customers so that they may rapidly integrate applications across the enterprise without modifying or having access to the application source code," stated John Broderick, CEO. "The ability to integrate applications in environments where XenApp and XenDesktop are used allows our customers to further extend application integration from the server to the desktop and support a Service-Oriented Architecture."
