Winner – Citrix 2010 U.S. and Southeast Partner of the Year (2nd award)

LPS Integration, Inc. today announced that it has been named Citrix U.S. Partner of the Year for 2010. The award was presented on May 24, 2011 at the annual Citrix Synergy Conference in San Francisco, at which LPS Integration was also recognized as Southeast Partner of the Year for the second year in a row. LPS Integration won the U.S. Partner of the Year award among a field of more than 1900 Citrix Solutions Advisors nationwide and more than 250 in the Southeast.

“We are pleased to recognize the achievements of LPS Integration as a trusted advisor and award them as the 2010 U.S. Partner of the Year,” stated Fernando J. Campo, Vice President, Americas for Citrix. “LPS Integration has been an integral part of our team and this was demonstrated with their tremendous growth over the year before. Their impressive record, their commitment to maintaining a high level of technical expertise, and the variety of Citrix solutions they provide certainly influenced our decision to award them with the U.S. Partner of the Year and Southeast Partner of the Year.”

LPS Integration’s business is built around data center solutions and Citrix is a key ingredient in that mix. Having well-trained certified engineers who can assess, architect and implement these new technologies is the reason LPS Integration has experienced such a high growth rate in selling Citrix solutions. The shift to virtualization and cloud computing options has increased dramatically over the last few years as it allows companies greater flexibility and mobility for their work force. Citrix technologies offer tremendous options for businesses of all sizes and Citrix currently holds the number one ranking in market share, as touted by Citrix at last week’s conference.
