Case Study: Albert Einstein College of Medicine achieves campus-wide MATLAB access and increased researcher productivity with MathWorks

Increasing Productivity with MATLAB Access for Everyone, Anywhere: Q&A with Albert Einstein College of Medicine

Albert Einstein College of Medicine, a major biomedical research and medical education institution in New York City, faced growing overhead from managing multiple floating software licenses across departments. To increase researcher productivity and simplify administration, the college sought campus-wide access to MATLAB through a Total Academic Headcount (TAH) license from MathWorks.

MathWorks implemented a campus-wide MATLAB TAH license, giving students and researchers direct, free access to MATLAB and essential toolboxes, plus timely technical support from MathWorks. The change eliminated per-department license management, let researchers use prebuilt functions (saving weeks of development), and effectively removed license-administration burden—delivering significant productivity gains and an ROI that the college describes as nearly infinite.
