    Brief

    This opportunity seeks an application virtualization software solution and comprehensive support services under a site license model. The solution must host and deliver the majority of teaching, research, and professional software applications across the institution. Key requirements include: application containerization and security features (DRM and encryption), regular security updates and patching capabilities, and analytics dashboards that track software usage and licensing effectiveness. Services must encompass initial training, user onboarding, custom application packaging, and ongoing technical support. The platform will support the institutional transition away from Windows 10 and provide data-driven insights to optimize software licensing spend and identify cost reduction opportunities.
