The University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) is working to minimize the impact of the worldwide Microsoft service outage, confirmed since early this morning, in order to ensure that activity resumes as soon as possible. The electronic registration application, the signature portal, and the electoral application remain operational.
The incident, which began to be detected around 7:44 AM, was classified as critical by the USC's Area of Information and Communication Technologies (ATIC). Despite efforts, service normality has not yet been fully restored, although intermittent recovery signs have begun to be registered since 12:50 PM.
While the incident continued unresolved, the University explored alternatives to minimize consequences, particularly concerning administrative procedures and deadlines affected by the inability to access digital tools.
USC activated alternative communication channels, such as push notifications and website alerts, to keep the university community informed amidst the problems that also affected email and other Microsoft services.
