"We've been able to maintain a flat cost structure with regards to the administration and maintenance of the Citrix environment."

With success in Australia and New Zealand, Stryker plans to use the Citrix product in its offices globally, Levin said.

Stryker may also look again to Citrix as it looks to build a Bring Your Own Device policy, Levin said. The BYOD policy is "a work in progress," he said. BYOD is a "great opportunity," but it "does pose significant changes to the infrastructure."
