UK Fashion Icon Jaeger Replaces Citrix with Ericom(R) PowerTerm(R) WebConnect to Reduce Costs and Increase Efficiencies


DROITWICH, England, March 5 /PRNewswire/ --

- Jaeger modernises Terminal Server infrastructure - improves performance 
at a lower cost while empowering users with secure application access from 
its Wyse thin clients

Ericom has confirmed that leading British fashion house Jaeger has
replaced its aging Citrix infrastructure with Ericom's PowerTerm WebConnect
gaining the double benefit of improved performance at a lower cost.

For the same investment as updating their existing Citrix licenses,
Jaeger was able to completely refresh its Terminal Server infrastructure with
64-bit servers and purchase all required PowerTerm WebConnect RemoteView
licenses with support.

Jaeger can now take advantage of the performance benefits of 64-bit
computing and deliver applications securely across the organisation using
their existing Wyse thin clients.

As a premium brand fashion retailer operating in the very competitive UK
retail sector, Jaeger is constantly searching for savings within its business
units while ensuring that it improves its business agility and effectiveness.
Jaeger was able to achieve this by deploying Ericom's Citrix alternative
solution, PowerTerm WebConnect RemoteView.

Jaeger is a luxury British brand renowned for designing stylish,
innovative and superb quality womenswear, menswear and accessories. Founded
122 years ago, Jaeger is firmly established in the fashion market as a
premium brand. Jaeger currently has over 120 shops in the UK and Europe plus
stores in Montreal, Japan, Dubai, Taiwan, Chile and Korea. Jaeger is
synonymous with innovative designs and luxurious fabrics; creating vintage
pieces of the future.

Working with Netstore, an Ericom business partner, Jaeger was able to
gain additional benefits beyond what they were achieving with their old
Citrix licenses.

Ericom Managing Director for the UK, Ian Platt, commented "Reducing costs
and increasing efficiencies are key issues for many of today's businesses
regardless of the market they operate in. Retailing on the high street is as
tough as it gets. We are delighted that such a fashion icon as Jaeger has
chosen Ericom as their secure application access solution."
