Update
IT have identified and resolved the problem that was preventing us from getting all of our systems back online. We are now restarting the servers that were previously unavailable, however, to avoid all of this new activity causing further problems, we are doing this in small batches and so it will take us sometime to be fully operational. We will continue to work through the weekend to achieve a complete recovery.

Further communication will be sent if we experience issues that prevent the complete restoration or if there is a significant change to this schedule. The next formal update will be 9am Monday morning. However, over the weekend, we will be updating the status of each services as they come back online on the OneHelp landing page.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding while services are being restored.
