Cordance expands higher education tech portfolio with AppsAnywhere acquisition

Cordance has acquired AppsAnywhere, a UK-based education technology company specialising in software delivery and IT management for universities. The move strengthens Cordance’s position in the higher education market by adding a proven platform that allows institutions to provide students and faculty with seamless access to software on any device.

AppsAnywhere serves over 300 universities worldwide, supporting millions of users through a system that removes the need for traditional virtual desktop infrastructure. Its technology is designed to improve access, lower costs, and simplify software delivery for both on-campus and remote learners.

“I’m thrilled to welcome AppsAnywhere to the Cordance organization,” said Caroline Morris, Chief Executive Officer at Cordance. “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.”

The acquisition aligns AppsAnywhere with LabStats, another Cordance-owned company offering real-time analytics on software and device usage in higher education. Together, the two platforms give IT leaders greater insight into software performance, licence efficiency, and infrastructure planning, supporting both operational savings and improved digital experiences for students.

By integrating AppsAnywhere, Cordance continues to build its portfolio of vertical SaaS solutions tailored to education, reinforcing its focus on scalable, data-driven tools that address institutional efficiency and student engagement across global higher education markets.
