Under our new agreement with Version 1, IBM’s SPSS has been rebranded as APAD. APAD stands for the not very catchy title of Advanced Predictive Analytics and Deployment. Similarly AMOS has become (arguably more catchy) Titanium. We have licensed APAD at the Gold Maximum level, which is the same as the previously licensed Statistics Premium. There are full site licences for both the UK and Malaysian campuses but in Malaysia there is a limit on the number of seats of Titanium, so please do request Titanium seperately and only if you need it. Both packages can be found on Apps Anywhere (UK only).

A table of functions in APAD is provided.

Most of the software you will need in your studies can be obtained ‘live’ from our AppsAnywhere service. This enables you to use it from your own PC without having to obtain it and install it. Until recently this was only available on-campus and halls but due to the pandemic the DTS department has worked very hard to make sure it can be used from wherever you are. Truly Apps Anywhere!

The service supports Windows PCs natively but also allows you to log onto a Student Desktop via AVD (Azure Virtual Desktop) and then use AppsAnywhere.

If there is a piece of software you require via AppsAnywhere that is not currently available, please complete a Software Request form so we can look to make this available for you.

We have now published a page that provides further information about resources to support remote working during the Coronavirus emergency. Please click here.

Although Covid-19 has perhaps accelerated the move to remote teaching and learning, the Software Store is a good example of how we have been supporting this for some time. Over the next few weeks we will be adding more information to the store, including about additional resources as they become available. In the meantime, do explore the current catalogue, bearing in mind that we have opened Apps Anywhere to off-campus use now.
