We have several JMP add-ins that are used by 100+ users.  The add-ins require JMP, an Oracle ODBC client, and custom menus. Initially, we deployed the add-ins to individuals' PCs, which required installing JMP and Oracle, as well as configuring ODBC drivers and add-in menus on each PC. It was a maintenance nightmare, because every week, someone's hard disk failed or their PC was reimaged. 

To reduce this burden, we opted to use Citrix servers to run JMP and the add-ins. We are in the process of switching from Citrix to Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). The benefits include:

• Only needing to set up things once.
• Excellent performance for our overseas users.
• Additional level of security.

This talk provides details on server setup, security, configuring Oracle, configuring JMP add-ins, code maintenance, and how users save files from Citrix or RDP.
