Retiral of iFriend Service

The computing team has been reviewing the services it provides to the School in order to identify and withdraw support for those services which are no longer seeing significant usage, can be replicated by a centrally provided service, or present a significant maintenance challenge.

Originally introduced in 2007, iFriend has provided a means for users outside of Informatics to access some of our services. Its codebase is now very old, and unmaintained, and its use within Informatics has been dwindling over the years.

We have therefore taken the decision to retire the iFriend service at the end of May 2024.

Please get in touch via the support form if this is likely to cause any problems.
