We have an MS team, WCC Group, and centers were indicating that they were logged off and could not log back in. Teresa Gibbons put in a ticket with the vendor, Veracity, and as on a call with their support center. We were told the system was down in Washington, DC but checked the “Down Detector” and found it was a nation wide outage.
