October, 2002

Lynn Souza, Data Center and Network Manager at CONNECT Computer Corporation just completed her CCEA (Citrix Certified Enterprise Administrator) requirements, attaining a top level of certification for Citrix Systems technology. There are only 500 or so Citrix engineers in the world who have achieved this level of expertise. In addition to getting her CCA on MetaFrame, exams passed included: Resource Manager, Installation Manager, NFuse Elite, NFuse Classic with Enterprise Services and Citrix Secure Gateway.

The CCEA program is an advanced technical certification that builds on the Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA) program. The CCEA program expands the knowledge of Citrix products and gives one even more extensive experience installing and administering Citrix products such as Citrix Management Services, Load Balancing Services, Program Neighborhood, and NFuse.

Congratulations to Lynn, who is also an MCSE and NMCSE and has been with CONNECT since 2000.
