Despite the general exit of accounting firms from reselling, the large firms with strong consulting arms were well represented, including RSM McGladrey, Wipfli, and Crowe Chizek. The President’s Club looked like another excuse to reward businesses for sheer size as individual offices of several larger dealers all qualified. These were 4 ePartners offices, 8 Avanade entities; 8 from Columbus IT; 3 from from RSM McGladrey and 10 from Tectura. I’m probably making an issue out of nothing, but I did a rough count of the President’s Club and came up with about 348 members, meaning these big companies were about 10 percent of that. Curious about the inclusion of European Qurius in the Inner Circle. This is a company that reported a 25 percent drop in license sales for calendar 2009. I wonder if it's like a publishing company that gave bonsuses of $17,000 to staffers of a magazine it folded the same year, because the goal to exceed was zero. (It's unfair, obscene, I cashed the check, was a memorable quote from one of them).
