Faculties and Directorates must request the installation of networked academic or administrative software via the Application Management Process (AMP). This includes new software, plug-ins, add-ons, upgrades to software already installed, software for which license(s) have expired and applications to be developed in-house.
If you need a piece of software installed onto just one or two computers, it may be easier and quicker to request locally, rather than for it to be packaged and made available via the Application Management Process for mass consumption.
