Higher education IT teams are under growing pressure to support flexible learning, control software and hardware costs, reduce operational overhead, and prove the value of their services. But many institutions are still managing labs through static, location-based models that were built for a different era.

In this webinar, AppsAnywhere & LabStats will explore how institutions can modernize lab management by connecting flexible software delivery with real usage insight. Join us to learn how higher ed IT can move from assumption-led decisions to an evidence-based model that helps deliver access, measure demand, and continuously optimize software, hardware, space, and spend.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why traditional 'set and forget' lab models are becoming harder to sustain in modern higher education.
  • How to shift from managing labs as physical spaces to managing software access as a flexible service.
  • Where VDI, BYOD, application virtualization, and AppsAnywhere Cloud Delivery fit within a modern software delivery strategy.
  • How real usage data can support better decisions around software licensing, hardware refreshes, lab utilization, and cost optimization.
  • How AppsAnywhere and LabStats together help institutions deliver, measure, and optimize software access as part of a continuous improvement model.
