Access the Office from Home to Avoid Winter Travel Chaos

Free service to help UK commuters cope with travel disruptions.

London, United Kingdom, January 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Less than a week into 2008, UK commuters have already faced snow storms, over-running engineering works, station closures, the threat of air strikes and hikes in train ticket prices. When the travel chaos inevitably happens again, commuters will be wondering how they can avoid spending valuable hours on a cold station platform or sitting in traffic.

To help UK commuters who rely on their office PC cope with travel disruption this winter, Citrix Online is offering an extended free, 60-day trial of its remote access service Citrix® GoToMyPC®. Rather than struggle to travel into the office, workers can use GoToMyPC to securely and easily access their office computer from their home PC, enabling them to use all of their files, email and applications as if they were sitting at their desks.

To take advantage of the free trial, any individual or business can sign up immediately at gotomypc.co.uk/gosafe. There is no hardware or software to purchase or install, and no need to reconfigure a computer.

“Bad weather and disruptions to road, air and rail travel have already caused travel misery for millions of UK commuters in 2008. By taking advantage of GoToMyPC, commuters can work from any location and stay connected with their workplace, customers and employees, while minimising lost working hours for their business,” said Bernardo de Albergaria, Vice President and General Manager, E-commerce, Citrix Online. We are inviting employees and employers to immediately begin using our remote-access service -- free of charge for the next 60 days.”
