From managed devices to virtual machines: exploring deployment methods
With a range of deployment methods possible for digital tools, it can be challenging to find the right balance, especially when considering the diverse needs of different user groups, and whilst wanting to keep an eye on cost effectiveness.
Product key licensing made easy
As an education institution, you likely have a large number of students, faculty, and staff who require access to various digital tools and software programs to support their work and research. However, managing the licensing of these products can be a significant challenge. Different software providers use different licensing systems, and assigning the right licence to each user can be time-consuming and complicated. This is where Academic Software can help.
Unlocking the potential of virtual desktop infrastructure for higher education
As universities and colleges look to increase support for flexible studying, working and teaching, a significant challenge is how to provide secure access to software and applications across multiple devices that users might be working on.
Why Academic Software is the ideal choice for cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is on the minds of every IT professional working in the education sector. In response to serious and mounting cyber risks, universities, colleges and schools are having to put in place robust cybersecurity measures. In this context, cybersecurity protocols and certifications are also emerging that educational institutions are mandated to meet, for example the UK’s Cyber Essentials certification, or Spain’s National Cyber Security Schemes. And the EU cybersecurity certification framework is striving to bring cybersecurity certifications into alignment across Europe.
Face-to-face Training in the Digital Age
The Rector of the CEU Cardenal Herrera University in Spain speaks in his welcome of it being an "international university". He does not exaggerate. Whilst CEU Cardenal Herrera University is a small university with 9,000 undergraduate students and 2,000 postgraduate students, of those, 4,000 students were not born in Spain. The university attracts international students by highlighting its "academic model oriented towards excellence and the comprehensive training of our students". In other words, CEU Cardenal Herrera University, emphasises the value of face-to-face training.
