UK's leading equine charity uses remote-assistance software to provide technical
help across four continents

Chalfont, UK. - 12 February, 2008: Brooke, the UK's leading charity helping working
horses, donkeys and mules in some of the world's poorest countries, is using Citrix®
GoToAssist® to provide cost-effective IT support to some of the outmost regions of
Asia, Africa and South America, as well as its head office in the UK. Using the
remote-assistance technology, the charity's IT team is supporting more than 700
staff by virtually accessing their computers and, in doing so, instantly fix any
technical issues as if they were there in person.

The Brooke's UK team comprises of just two IT technicians, providing comprehensive
support to a user base whose IT knowledge varies from beginner to expert. The
charity wanted to give these users instant access to help with hardware and software
problems, and upgrade issues and system errors, regardless of location. With
GoToAssist, the Brooke can ensure that every member of staff is able to get online,
send and receive emails, and download files relating to the animals in their care at
any time.

"Employing on-location IT support in the nine countries we operate in was not an
option for a charity that is always mindful of expenditure," commented Parit Shah,
IT Manager, at the Brooke. "Flying our London-based technicians around the world
was also out of the question. By deploying GoToAssist, we can provide a top-class
remote IT service and keep costs to a bare minimum."
GoToAssist's ability to work with either broadband or dial-up was also key to the
Brooke's decision to purchase the remote support service. Parit adds, "In many
locations users don't have access to broadband so they have to rely on dial-up for
online access. GoToAssist was the remote-assistance product available to work on
both, and even though remote support on dial-up is really slow it's a life-saver for
many users."

"Like all our products, GoToAssist is delivered via Software as a Service, which
means no installation and no costly upgrades or maintenance for the Brooke,"
commented Bernardo de Albergaria, Vice President and General Manager E-commerce,
CitrixOnline.

"By opting for a licence-based pricing structure, the charity can give users access
to a blue-chip standard service at a price that is friendly to the third sector."

GoToAssist provides companies with fast, secure, highly scalable and reliable
connectivity to desktop applications, enabling businesses to engage in support
sessions with all of their customers and employees, even those with connections as
slow as 28.8Kbps. Redundant systems and 24/7 monitoring helps ensure that GoToAssist
service is always available. No investment in hardware or software is required,
eliminating costly deployment expenses and implementation time. The service
incorporates strong security and data privacy with 128-bit, end-to-end Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption as standard protection for all sessions.
