Update 25 November:
The implementation of Deskalert is cancelled due to performance problems!
Original message:
DeskAlert will be made available on all PCs with a University Workstation (UWP) and will replace SharpReader.
What is DeskAlert?
DeskAlert aims to inform you of any service interruptions and maintenance with regard to the central University of Groningen IT services, complementary to Twitter, Yammer and the CIT Service Desk fault page. Students and staff with a University Workstation will receive the information at the same time in the form of a ticker at the bottom of the screen.
