Yes. First Stop IT supports rural property and development firms that run Argus Developer through Citrix, keeping access fast and reliable so your team can run development appraisals from the office, from home or on site. When the appraisal software is part of how you win and deliver work, it needs to be there every time, not a source of frustration.

Delivering specialist software like Argus through Citrix is a sensible way to give a dispersed team reliable, secure access, but it has to be set up and looked after properly. Here’s how we keep it working.

Reliable access through Citrix

Citrix lets your team use Argus Developer from almost any device and location, with the software running centrally rather than installed on every machine. We manage that environment, keep it patched and monitored, and make sure the connection is fast and dependable so appraisals don’t stall.

Set up to perform

Specialist software through Citrix can feel slow if it’s not configured well. We tune the setup so Argus runs smoothly for the people who use it daily, and we deal quickly with the login and access issues that otherwise interrupt a busy team.

Secure by design

Centralising access through Citrix is also good for security, because the data stays in one controlled place rather than scattered across laptops. We add multi-factor authentication and sensible access controls so your appraisal data and client information stay protected wherever your team logs in from.

One partner for the whole stack

Argus and Citrix work best when the rest of your IT is healthy too. Because we also support your Microsoft 365, document storage and other specialist software, you get one partner who understands how it all fits together, rather than several suppliers pointing at each other.

For most firms of your size, this sits within fully managed IT at about £45 to £100 per user per month, billed per user, with support, security and backups included.
