"Machikomi" It is difficult to connect A contact application from the school to the parent February 28 18:10

After Prime Minister Abe indicated that elementary and junior high schools and high schools nationwide were requested to take temporary closures, access concentrated on apps being used to transmit information from schools to parents on March 28. It is hard to connect around noon. This means that the operating company has responded by switching to sending information via email.

What makes it difficult to connect is a service called "Machikomi" that communicates information and information from schools to parents, and according to the operating company, about 10,000 elementary and junior high schools and high schools across the country have introduced, and about 2 million people Is used.

Access has been concentrated on the application since the morning of the 28th, and around noon, it increased more than 10 times as much as usual and it could not be processed, so now we are switching to sending information via email about it.

According to the operator of the operating company, "It has been 16 years since we started the service, but this is the first time that access has been concentrated at once".

It is expected that the application will be restored within 28 days, but if access is concentrated again it will be difficult to connect, so the operating company is calling for a setting to receive email.
