Quarterly Report to the Community Winter 2012
9 September 2013 at 9:59am
One of the major hot topics this quarter has been Janet’s partnership with Microsoft. To be launched on 1 February 2013, the service will help institutions move to Microsoft Office 365, enabling them to save money with legal costs.
Another point of note from the report is the 25% increase in the number of SSL certificates obtained via Janet Certificate Service this quarter, reinforcing our belief that this service is of significant value to our community.
As always, it’s worth noting that this report is for you, our community, so if you have any suggestions for future content, please do leave a comment.

Yes, it's of significant value. But I think a much more reasonable interpretation of the increase is that the rapid increase was just after the introduction of charges for the service was announced. I would suspect that the increase in applications was largely people renewing and deploying certificates before the charging regime kicks in. The more interesting stat will be the figures AFTER charging.
