#Jobpoints in #Jobcentres Disappearance: Mystery Solved. Over the last few months people commenting here have kept mentioning how Jobpoints are being removed from Jobcentre Plus The mystery is now solved..... It’s not that they didn’t want to keep the Jobpoints there, it’s because the Department for Work and Pensions - DWP are too tight to upgrade the Jobpoints system they were running on. You see most of the Jobpoints were running on Windows 2000 or Windows XP throughout the entire UK, we have witnessed the start-up routines of these machines and it’s confirmed. As most of us now know, Microsoft are no longer issuing updates for Windows XP – never mind Windows 2000, for a Jobpoint to work correctly it has to be internet enabled, (and for that the Windows Program has to have all the current security updates installed), because the server that displays the jobs from it’s screen isn’t based at any one Jobcentre, it’s probably based at the main server: – DWP at Caxton House in London. #DWP if you’re serious about getting #unemployed people into jobs, then restore the Jobpoints with an updated system (at least WindowsVista or better still, the more superior Windows 7 Both have full internet connectivity and the updates are still available for years to come.
