MyApps\u00a0 enables University community members to launch software such as Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Acrobat and IBM's SPSS from any browser either on campus or at home.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past months, UIT staff have been testing and piloting MyApps with much success. Now that the pilot phase is complete, UIT is ready to bring MyApps to the York community. Everyone is encouraged to begin using the new service starting Sept. 16. Access to WebFAS will be continued until Dec. 20, after which it will no longer be available.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of what to expect from MyApps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A modern interface:\u00a0 MyApps provides a modern, one-stop University portal to access software.<\/li>\n<li>Better performance:\u00a0 Applications will run as seamlessly as if they were locally installed on your computer.<\/li>\n<li>Consistent user experience:\u00a0 All applications behave the same, whether launched from a Mac or PC.<\/li>\n<li>Seamless authentication:\u00a0 When using a Windows machine, if you have already authenticated with your Passport York credentials, you will not be prompted to log in to MyApps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To learn more about MyApps, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/staff.computing.yorku.ca\/support-services\/myapps\/\">https:\/\/staff.computing.yorku.ca\/support-services\/myapps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Questions or comments should be sent by email to <a href=\"mailto:askit@yorku.ca\">askit@yorku.ca<\/a>\u00a0or by calling 416-736-5800.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University Information Technology is launching a new service called MyApps on Sept. 16.
