From Monday, 6 October, you will find service alerts on the IT self-service portal. 

Our old in-house IT Service Status (ITSS) system is being decommissioned. It will stop sending email/SMS alerts to people who had subscribed. To continue receiving alerts via email, you can subscribe again in the self-service portal.

Where to find service status information in the IT self-service portal

  • The public portal homepage shows any current alerts above the search bar
  • The Service Status page shows the statuses of 'Critical' and 'Important' tier services
  • The individual service description pages show their status

What’s different

  • We have chosen to feature only 'Critical' and 'Important' services tiers on the Service Status page to avoid overwhelm
  • Opt-in alerts are now email only, delivered to your [CRSid]@cam.ac.uk address
  • RSS feeds from the old ITSS service will stop working on web pages and digital signage.
