The compatibility for the LOB app might be a stumbling block. While they don't "officially" support doing it that way, there are enough other people that are doing it without trouble. The company offers the next step up version that will do the remote access part but needs SQL Server. So the pricing down the road will need to be considered.
I know I need to check on Citrix. Going to do some research there after getting some basic figures together. Thanks.

If it was never going to go above 25 users my advice would be to not bother. For demonstration purposes you can probably do without it.
