Case Study: LMG Marin achieves secure, anytime access to virtualized AutoCAD with Citrix

LMG Marin - Customer Case Study

LMG Marin, a Bergen‑based naval architecture firm with teams in Poland and France, designs civil and military vessels and relies on powerful Dell workstations and a small IT team to support about 30 engineers who often work remotely or travel. They needed secure, centralized access to heavy, bandwidth‑intensive design applications (like AutoCAD) and files so engineers could start work immediately from any location without long setup delays.

Working with Citrix and reseller First Point, LMG Marin virtualized applications and workspaces using XenApp and XenDesktop (with NetScaler for performance), and implemented ShareFile plus GoToMeeting/GoToAssist for secure file sharing and fast remote support. The result: engineers can run demanding apps over WAN and even cellular with LAN‑like performance, troubleshooting is typically resolved in ~15 minutes, IT support time dropped ~30%, employees are more self‑reliant, and the solution paid back in under a year.
