  Citrix server-based solutions have been adopted both within the enterprise computing market and by the emerging ASP community as a technology for application hosting and delivery.The following ISVs are engaged in pilot projects to embed, or have already embedded MetaFrame in their applications as part of the Citrix iBusiness ISV initiative :.

  Ken Charman, director for EMEA at instant messaging security vendor FaceTime, takes a darker view of the impact of consolidation on resellers."Fewer vendors on the market means resellers have less choice and fewer opportunities to negotiate a good deal," he says.
  
  Charman also believes that time spent analysing potential partner prospects, as a stab at prevention over cure, is time wasted.
  
  "Forget it.You choose suppliers on the strength of the product offering and marketing support.There is no point wasting time fortune-telling on M&A.If you can do that, go and get a job in the City," he says.
  ...
  Charman adds that consolidation in their channel is generally very much encouraged by vendors.
  
  "They want to reduce the number of accounts they deal with," he says.
  ...
  From the reseller perspective, Charman adds, acquisitions tend to strengthen the business engine.
  ...
  But there are down sides to be borne in mind as well, Charman warns.

  Messaging threat affects firms of all sizes - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 3/19/2004    Last Visited: 11/9/2004  

  Ken Charman, director at Face Time, said it is common for even City firms to "sweep it under the carpet".
  
  "When I talk to City institutions they tell me they are not going to start logging instant messaging until the Financial Services Authority requires it.Or they have taken legal advice and they are waiting for a court case to set a legal precedent," he said.
  
  In the wake of high-profile cases involving Microsoft, Enron and Shell, many financial services firms are wary of retaining electronic information that could later come back and bite them.
  
  Rather than retaining more documents, many City firms are reducing their retention periods, said Charman.
  
  "Standard financial record retention should be six years, lawyers recommend.But some companies are bringing down retention policies to six months or 90 days.The message I get is that the cost of the storage is high, and the risk of retaining the information is greater than the risk of destroying it," he said.
