### Procurement Information

Explanation: 1. Strategic Fit with Existing Infrastructure AppsAnywhere has been specifically selected due to its seamless integration with our existing hybrid infrastructure, which spans across multiple continents and is built on a combination of Azure, AWS, and Nutanix environments. The platform's compatibility with both Azure Environments, Hyper-V further strengthens our current systems without necessitating costly or time-consuming reconfigurations. 2. Educational Sector Requirements The unique needs of a global university, where the infrastructure supports thousands of students and staff remotely, require a solution tailored to educational environments. AppsAnywhere is designed with the academic sector in mind, enabling centralised, secure delivery of software applications to both on-campus and remote users. This focus on student and faculty needs aligns with our goal to provide a flexible and userfriendly experience, ensuring uninterrupted learning and research activities. 3. Education Sector Challenges A reduction in resource availability as the university looks to reduce in operating costs and deliver sustainable digital experiences. Previous use of AppsAnywhere means that the skill set is readily available and packaging of applications for our environment is familiar, and the platform can be onboarded with speed. Proven Security and Compliance Standards With the university operating a SOC and NOC to oversee security operations globally, AppsAnywhere provides robust security features that align with our high compliance standards. The platform supports stringent security protocols and data protection measures, critical for maintaining the integrity of our distributed systems across several continents. 5. No Suitable Alternative in the Market After evaluating the alternatives, it has been determined that no other solution on the market meets our specific criteria in terms of integration, security, and the specialised requirements of an educational institution and the streaming of apps to BYOD devices. This conclusion is based on an extensive internal review of the options currently available. Many alternatives require significant infrastructure compute costs in a time where we are having to work to strict budget availability. 6. Cost and Time Efficiency Transitioning to a new platform would introduce significant costs, delays, and risks to the university's operations. AppsAnywhere allows for continuity without disrupting our global service delivery, enabling us to maintain operational efficiency and meet the demands of our academic community.
