Also, here is the list of questions the SME will be reviewing with the candidates:
Review your experience with Citrix products

- It needs to be at minimum a 7.x, ideally one of the more current versions. This one is hard to quantify as Citrix moved from a 7.x number to a build number. Here is a link to Citrix page, ideally it's something that is 7.15 LTSR or newer.
What VDI delivery models have you deployed?
- Looking for published App, shared desktop, pooled desktop, personal desktop, persistent and/or non-persistent
