Integrations

Integrate AppsAnywhere with your existing application deployment technologies and continue using the software you've already spent time packaging. Whether it's VDI, application virtualization, installed apps, remote apps or SaaS apps, bring together all your apps into one platform on any device, anywhere, anytime.

Give students easy access to the software they need for their course by integrating AppsAnywhere with your VLE or LMS platform.

We've built a native integration with Canvas' leading LMS platform to make it easier for faculty and students to get apps specific to their studies. With our Canvas integration, students see lists of specific apps based on the course they're studying and academics can choose and edit lists of apps they want students to use.

And by taking advantage of AppsAnywhere's virtualization technology, capable of delivering any app on-demand, students can launch and run those apps wherever and whenever, without needing to find a dedicated lab where the software is installed.

App Lists

For all other learning management solutions you can take advantage of AppsAnywhere's App Lists feature to create a shareable lists of apps that are specific to courses, modules or academic years. App Lists give academics and IT admins a way of creating URLs for dedicated lists of software titles, which can then be embedded into your LMS/VLE of choice or distributed by other means.

Choose your own hosting.

AppsAnywhere supports both on-premise and Cloud deployments, so you can choose how you host your solution. Whether it's in an existing on-campus datacenter or in your Cloud solution of choice, including Microsoft's Azure and Amazon's AWS.

Whichever hosting platform you choose, our experienced implementations team will help you get up and running and provide all the support you need.

Integrate with your key IT stack to enable seamless software delivery and access.

AppsAnywhere works with many of the tools you already use, to give you the flexibility you need when it comes to delivery software to students and faculty, including Microsoft AD (Active Directory), your SSO of choice, and Microsoft Office 365

Active Directory (AD)

AppsAnywhere uses a service account to read your Active Directory structure. Once the users, groups and machines are imported, we provision apps to these users, groups or machines.

Single sign-on (SSO)

AppsAnywhere supports a vareity of SSO solutions, so you can give students direct access to their applications without them needing to revalidate or provide their login credentials twice. Supported SSO methods include:

1. Windows pass-through authentication (traditional SSO)
2. Azure AD (Office 365)
3. Shibboleth/SAML 
4. Token

Office 365

Office 365 is used extensively by the vast majority of universities and colleges worldwide. 

From within the Office 365 portal AppsAnywhere is included as a tab, to give students easy access to their Higher Ed apps. From AppsAnywhere you can link directly to the individual products of Office 365, or navigate users to the Office 365 portal. This gives you a single pane of glass and a trusted place to get all software from, with all the SSO capabilities of the platform.

Students consume Office apps in different ways at different times. On a managed desktop, students will use the locally installed version. On a tablet device they may need to use the web version through the browser. On a BYO device, especially if it's non-Windows, students may need the local copy or want to access the web version. And for certain Office apps, where a Mac version isn't available, the app will need to be delivered via HTML5. AppsAnywhere takes all this on board, and seamlessly gives the student the most appropriate version based on the device they're using. And all the student needs to do is click 'launch'...
