AppsAnywhere is now Workspace

On Monday, August 13, 2018, the AppsAnywhere service will be changing to Workspace 

The new Workspace service has been in pilot for over a year and is part of our shift to deliver a full virtual desktop experience for all students as well as delivering individual applications. This will increase their ability to use their own devices and work from anywhere.
