AppsAnywhere Wins 2025 Tech Edvocate Award for Best Higher Education Solution

Award recognizes AppsAnywhere's impact in expanding access to critical software for millions of students worldwide

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AppsAnywhere, a student-first platform for higher education that centralizes software access, today announced it has been named the winner of the 2025 Tech Edvocate Award for Best Higher Education Solution. This award recognizes AppsAnywhere's innovation in tackling one of higher education's most persistent challenges: providing seamless access to critical academic software across diverse devices, locations and student needs.

Serving more than 3 million students at 300+ institutions in 22 countries, AppsAnywhere redefines how colleges and universities deliver software. By functioning like a digital backpack, the platform makes resource-intensive programs such as AutoCAD, MATLAB, Adobe® Creative Cloud and SPSS instantly available on any device, from anywhere. This student-first approach eliminates reliance on costly labs or high-powered machines, ensuring every learner can engage fully with coursework, whether in a dorm, commuting or balancing studies with work.

Unlike generic enterprise IT tools repurposed for education, AppsAnywhere was designed from the ground up for higher ed. Institutions use its powerful analytics and centralized version control to streamline licensing, cut costs and ensure academic consistency, while IT teams benefit from simplified deployments, reduced support tickets and a more strategic use of resources. Students, in turn, gain a consistent, intuitive experience tailored to how they learn today.

"This recognition validates our mission to provide students access without limits," said Nick Johnson, CEO and Co-Founder of AppsAnywhere. "By working hand-in-hand with institutions to simplify how software is delivered, we're helping them improve equity, reduce IT complexity and create the kind of seamless digital experiences today's students expect."

The Tech Edvocate Awards spotlight the year's most innovative edtech products and companies. Winners are selected by a combination of industry experts, teachers, and K–20 stakeholders who evaluate nominees on their ability to improve learning, equity and institutional efficiency.
