At California State Parks, users access TMS from locations throughout the state using Citrix.  Dial-up connections are too slow to be practical, but response is good with broadband connections (network, cable, DSL).

Because TMS is a client server application, it is very sensitive to the speed of the network.  The most efficient way to provide access from off site locations is to put the application a terminal server, or Citrix server.

I would like to hear how others have set up TMS for use from multiple locations. We have our TMS server in our offices, but now most of our TMS users are in an offsite storage facility and access to TMS in VERY slow and difficult. Are there ways to configure the server and/or network to help speed things up and make the connections more reliable?
