Case Study: University of Surrey improves student IT experience with Software2's AppsAnywhere

Improving students’ IT experience with virtualized application delivery

The University of Surrey, a leading UK university, faced challenges in managing hundreds of applications across thousands of machines. Their IT teams struggled with slow, manual software delivery processes that hindered efficiency and negatively impacted the student experience. To address this, they partnered with vendor Software2 to find a solution.

Software2 implemented their AppsAnywhere platform, which virtualizes application delivery. This solution streamlined software management, drastically reduced PC rebuild times from up to six hours to a much faster process, and provided more reliable PCs during critical exam periods. The results for the University of Surrey, facilitated by Software2, included an enhanced, consistent student IT experience and improved software license management through usage reporting.
