Citrix Systems says it contributed additional licenses to power and secure the delivery of the Special Olympics' medical record systems to all of the 22 sporting venues for over 7,500 athletes in the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games held in Shanghai on October 2 – 11, 2007.

The company's Medical Encounter Software held the critical medical histories and records for each of the 7,500 athletes from more than 160 participating countries at the World Games, and was centrally hosted and delivered securely via Citrix application delivery infrastructure to disparate devices at all 70 competition, special event and housing venues located across 19 Shanghai Districts.

"The 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Shanghai is the largest sporting event in the world this calendar year, and gathering over 7,500 athletes, will be the largest Special Olympics World Games ever. It is therefore extremely important that we engage a reliable world-class technology vendor such as Citrix Systems to provide the crucial backbone of application delivery infrastructure for both our critical Medical Encounter Software as well as the Game Management Systems," said Andre Mendes, vice president and chief information officer, Special Olympics. "The goal of Special Olympics is to improve the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities through sport, and Citrix Systems plays a key role in supporting this goal. By delivering the mission-critical applications to PCs and other devices regardless of their hardware specifications and bandwidth available, it enables our medical teams to address the medical needs of the our athletes regardless of their location."

The MES software is provided by Health One Global, the exclusive Special Olympics Healthy Athletes Global Partner for electronic health records.

Citrix contribution of the application delivery infrastructure solutions include 260 concurrent user licenses of Presentation Server, Enterprise Edition that centralize all the applications including the mission-critical Medical Encounter Software and Games Management Systems, as well as 780 concurrent user licenses of the Citrix Access Gateway1.
