At Citrix, our goal is to further fuel the adoption of rich telephony applications with innovative solutions that use this converged network to make telephony applications easier to deploy and use, and provide new emergency communications capabilities. We are delighted to have the opportunity to share our insights at this largest gathering of VoIP professionals.”
