What our customers are saying:

"At apetito we prefer long-term relationships and require our suppliers to become strategic advisors. During our implementation Point to Point has been fantastic in that we can ask them anything and we know they will be able to help or at least know someone who can. They are extremely knowledgeable, very responsive and make us feel like an important customer." Technical Systems Controller, apetito.

Other Point to Point Clients: ITN

ITN had recognised the benefits offered by a Citrix environment some time ago, but due to a non-compatibility issue with its major in-house application nothing could be done …….until recently. ITN selected Point to Point Ltd to implement a solution that would help it deliver the news reports and background information to and from the ‘field’ from anywhere in the world. Amongst other benefits, it helped realise huge cost savings in equipment transport, as well as reducing the exposure and challenges that transporting expensive hardware to and from war zones (and other similar areas) can bring for an international news organisation..

Citrix Health Checks

Point to Point are a nationally recognised and multi award winning Citrix Platinum Partner with many years experience with some of the UK's largest Citrix XenApp environments.We have a strong reputation for the initial and continued success of enterprise class Citrix XenApp deployments.

It is common for many organisations to tap into our Citrix technology skill set when it comes to delivering an optimal Citrix XenApp application delivery platform which can consistently provide a flawless user experience. As a result our Citrix health check is by far one of our most popular Citrix XenApp consulting services.

Our approach

We take a fixed priced approach with all our Citrix health checks and Citrix health checks are performed by a fully qualified Citrix engineer.  Our Citrix platinum partner status and recognised level of expertise provides us with a unique insight into how you environment is performing today versus how it should really perform if it optimised to its full potential.  We will compare your existing implementation to our own proven and established techniques for an optimised, consistent Citrix XenApp application delivery experience.
