Does GP2010 have a thin client?

Posted on by 355

We currently use GP10 and we are forced to use Citrix for our people in London and Hong Kong. While we do have a direct pipe from London/Hong Kong to our US office, using the GP client is painfully slow. Hence. we are forced to make them use Citrix. Does anybody know if GP 2010 has a thin client that would allow us to avoid Citrix?

    You will need to use Citrix or Terminal Server.

    Running ODBC over a WAN is not suported and as you have discovered is unusable.

    Please see my blog post on the topic

    Hi Michael

    If you are looking at inquiries and reports, you can take a look at Business Portal, which allows you to view information using over web and it is a thin client.

    But if you are looking at accessing the application for data processing, you need to have a client installed on Citrix and make it available for external users.

    Let us know if you have any questions.
