Application Workspace | Higher Education

The 20% of your applications that take 80% of your time.

Many university applications take days to package and rarely stay done. Think Unreal Engine, Adobe Creative Cloud, Autodesk, SolidWorks, ArcGIS, MATLAB, Ansys, and Avid. Build the hard ones once, deliver them across your estate, and simplify everything that comes next.
Why application delivery becomes a summer fire drill

Why application delivery becomes a summer fire drill

Complex teaching applications require dependencies, license servers, custom configurations, and version control. 

New academic-year requirements collide with the short window when labs and teaching rooms are available. 

Packaging falls to desktop and support teams already responsible for escalations and project work.

Keep the tools you already trust

Application Workspace complements Intune and SCCM by handling application packaging, delivery, and the user catalogue. The same application can support physical, virtual, Windows, and macOS environments, helping you modernize without a rip-and-replace project.

Build once, deliver everywhere

Build complex applications once

Package difficult Windows and macOS applications without rebuilding them for every delivery environment. Make changes without rebuilding the entire package.

Deliver applications around the user

Assign software by course, module, school, role, or device so people get the right applications wherever they work.

Give technical teams time back

Use visual workflows for custom packaging and keep thousands of routine applications current from the same platform.
The platform helps us address these issues, lower TCO, and move our infrastructure forward with flexibility and agility while delivering the best possible experience for students and faculty.

CCCU, a UK university with more than 30,000 students, moved application to the cloud and gave students a browser-based App Store with 100+ popular titles.

Key challenges

≈50% lower TCO - Total cost of ownership vs. the previous solution

~90% less config, deploy & update time - To configure, deploy, manage and update applications

Live in ~2 days - Environment stood up using Application Workspace connectors

Building the business case? 

Start by measuring who handles packaging, what gets rebuilt, and which higher-value work gets delayed.
