This service provides students, faculty, and staff at the University of Missouri with remote access to a wide array of software applications. Users can access specialized programs from personal devices, regardless of location, as long as they have an internet connection. For example, a student could utilize resource-intensive statistical analysis software from a personal laptop without needing to install it locally.
The value of this system lies in its enhanced accessibility and cost-effectiveness. It eliminates the need for individual software licenses on each machine and allows users to work with powerful applications from anywhere, fostering flexible learning and research environments. Historically, this type of access was limited to physical computer labs, creating scheduling constraints and access barriers.
