LabStats and AppsAnywhere are joining forces to give higher ed IT leaders powerful new ways to optimize technology access across campus.

The future of campus technology just got stronger.

At LabStats, we’re excited to welcome AppsAnywhere into the Cordance family. Together, our solutions give IT leaders unprecedented insight into how technology is used, and the ability to deliver it efficiently and effectively to the students and faculty who rely on it.

A Stronger Solution for Higher Ed IT

By combining AppsAnywhere’s powerful application delivery platform with LabStats’ real-time analytics, universities can gain unprecedented visibility and control over how technology is used and delivered across campus.

Together, these solutions will help IT leaders:

  • Optimize software licensing 
  • Deliver software to any device, on or off campus
  • Simplify technology access for students and faculty
  • Improve digital equity and student success
  • Reduce IT complexity and operational costs

For over 300 institutions worldwide, AppsAnywhere has already transformed how software is delivered: securely, efficiently, and without the expense of traditional VDI platforms. Pairing that with LabStats’ usage analytics means universities can now see what’s being used, where, and by whom, and then deliver it seamlessly to the right users at the right time.

Shared Values, Shared Vision

What makes this collaboration especially exciting is how naturally the two teams align. Both LabStats and AppsAnywhere share a deep commitment to higher education, building great products, empowering IT teams, and supporting the people on campus who make a difference every day.

“The combination of LabStats and AppsAnywhere marks a transformative step in redefining the digital campus experience. Together, we’re providing the foundation—uniting delivery and analytics—to help institutions create smarter, more connected learning environments that drive student success.” – Scott Hair, President, LabStats

“Joining Cordance marks a powerful next step for AppsAnywhere. We’ve always believed that software delivery in higher education requires purpose-built tools, not one-size-fits-all solutions. With Cordance’s partnership and the opportunity to collaborate closely with LabStats, we’re excited to expand our impact, drive further innovations, and continue removing the technical barriers to student success.” – Nick Johnson, CEO, AppsAnywhere

“I’m thrilled to welcome AppsAnywhere to the Cordance organization. This acquisition strengthens our commitment to higher education and expands the ways we can support IT leaders as they modernize their institutions. By pairing AppsAnywhere’s delivery platform with LabStats’ analytics, we’re not only helping universities run more efficiently, we’re empowering them to create better digital experiences that drive long-term student success.” – Caroline Morris, Chief Executive Officer, Cordance
