Jodi,

I work for a system integrator and we have implemented several Arbortext/Citrix installations. What specifically are you looking for?

Does this integration include a content manager?

Do you have more than one environment within Citrix? (ie: dev, test, prod) and if yes, is the Editor accessible from within the same Citrix instance (log into Citrix one time then have separate areas for each environment)?

Yes. We have implemented the Citrix enviroment with Editor, Arbortext Content Manager, Arbortext Publishing Engine, etc. We have also implemented the Citrix environment with Arbortext Editor and other CMS's.

We normally implement with several environments involved - Production, Test, Dev, Sand Box, etc.

There are several ways/approaches you can implement the Citrix inviroment. You can set up the environment where you log into Citrix the first time and access all of your environments from that same log in. In addition, based on your log in, you can have access to only certain enviroments based on your user role. The set up and configuation proess is quite flexible.

Lots of customers are doing this.. This is fairly common, especially when you have long distances between repository and authors. For instance, when the content management system is in Texas and the writer is in India. It's far better to send screen information across the pipe than try to send all the source data.

Arbortext Content Manager (Windchill) is a web-based application, so it may or may not make any difference for it to be on Citrix or not.
