5G – The new mobile communications technology
The new mobile communications standard 5G is playing an increasingly important role worldwide – including here at RWTH Aachen University. And that’s why, as of today, we’re dedicating a small series to the topic every Friday, providing background information, technical info and an outlook for the future.

Can I use Microsoft 365 free of charge as a student? – Yes, you can!
Who doesn’t know them? The stories of grandma and grandpa, how they typed their letters, texts and final papers late into the night by the light of a candle at the typewriter. Every mistake was fatal, because it meant rewriting the page if necessary. Or the tales told by parents of how they had to deal with the first home PCs of the 1990s, with early versions of various Office applications at their disposal.
By 2021, things look different. Candles have been replaced by lamps, computers fit in your pocket, and most software is available to users digitally on the Internet. And errors can now be corrected within seconds.

New feedback feature for support requests
New year and new beginnings! And new year also means good resolutions. As every year, one of our good resolutions is to increase your satisfaction. As we recently reported in our post about customer satisfaction, your opinion is very important to us and we ask for it regularly. So, in order for us to tackle our good resolution and improve this year as well, we need your feedback! This is why, starting february 10, 2021, you have the opportunity to tell us anonymously whether or not you were satisfied with our service in support requests.

Not only multi- and cross-, but now also omnichannel!
As the single point of contact (SPoC) for customer support at IT Center Services and selected university services, customer satisfaction is a top priority for us. To make it especially convenient for you, we therefore offer several channels for contacting us. So you can reach us not only by phone and mail, but also by chat and via the ticket portal, you can leave messages and comments on Twitter, Facebook and here on the blog, and you can like us on YouTube. This means that we have several channels (multichannel).
The changeover to a so-called omnichannel tool enables us to design input channels more clearly.

The CLAIX Projects 2019 report is online
The year is drawing to a close. Traditionally, we now look back on the past months and review the events. Apart from the global pandemic, everyone is sure to find at least one good memory of 2020.
The HPC office of the IT Center invites you to study their own review of the year: 2019 – you know: back before the world was drowning in toilet paper and disinfectant and surgical masks were actually only worn in operating rooms – many exciting projects were calculated at the CLAIX-2018.
