Web client use?

Posted on by bitshift 860

Hello,

We have CRM & GP 2010 here where I work and I am starting to get familiar with it, from a development view.  Reading through the various documents I see where there are both a desktop client and a web client.  What would be the reason that a company used citrix to provide access to end users vs the web client?

    Web client:

    The Microsoft Dynamics GP web client provides access to Microsoft Dynamics GP through the Internet Explorer web browser. The user experience and functionality provided by the Microsoft Dynamics GP web client closely matches the experience of using the Microsoft Dynamics GP desktop client. No client application software is installed on the user’s local system. The Microsoft Dynamics GP application process for the user is running on a separate server. A Silverlight 5 application running inside the web browser on the user’s computer presents the application.

    Citrix Client:

    The Citrix Client is a application that provides access to a Windows session running on a high-performance Citrix server. Once the connection to the Citrix server is established, you can access Windows applications and work with files in a similar way to working on a local PC. Because the Windows applications are running remotely on a Citrix server you get excellent performance, even on a low-performance workstation.

    Note: I have suggested above my information from the Web client installation document and citrix client documents.

    Hope this helps!!!

    I'm sure others will jump in here - but its topical at the moment for me.

    The first thing is that the Citrix client is the traditional GP client - so any custom developments, VB, or add ons will work as per normal. With the web client, any custom developments and third party products will need to be 'webified'.
