Deployment and licensing for all your digital tools
Managing digital tools can be complex. Whether they're installed natively, deployed via MDM, web-based platforms, VDI, or through other methods, each tool has its own intricacies. Similarly, licensing can range from volume-based to named, product-based, using licence servers, or even SSO. Every tool has its unique approach to licensing and deployment. Academic Software seamlessly integrates and automates all these deployment and licensing methods. Furthermore, our automated deprovisioning ensures efficient licence management. The result? Each user enjoys the most suitable methods tailored to their specific needs.
Advantages:
- Tailored deployment method to best fit each individual case
- No more manual licence attribution and deprovisioning
- Licence usage will match the real usage of the software

We provide comprehensive support, from installation and initialisation to licensing. Users can access our user-friendly manuals for guidance or contact our service desk directly for assistance, assuring a smooth experience for all.

Data protection and cyber security
In many scenarios, you may prefer not to disclose your users' data to third parties. However, you still aim for seamless integration. At Academic Software, we prioritise user data privacy and security. Our Identity Broker enables effortless integration with any identity provider, ensuring instant licence allocation and complete anonymisation of user data. This means your users can access any tool with their standard institutional credentials while remaining anonymous to the software vendor, guaranteeing robust data privacy.
Advantages:
- One-click access to every tool via the platform
- Instantaneous licence allocation
- Option to anonymise user details when necessary
Digital inclusivity
We believe in the importance of equal access to digital resources. We understand that not everyone knows how to find the right tools, or can navigate the complexities of licensing. Some users may lack the technical skills to troubleshoot issues, while others may not have powerful enough computers to run specific software. That's why we're here to bridge these gaps, making sure that all users can embrace digital opportunities inclusively and equally.
Advantages:
- Ensuring consistent digital access for every user
- Facilitating an even playing field, allowing tech and non-tech-savvy users alike to use tools with ease
- Providing multilingual support so all users can efficiently use the tools
