An electrical short took down services for Intuit online banking subscribers about two weeks ago. And during the company's recent first-quarter earnings conference call CEO Brad Smith said the electrical problem took out three separate UPS systems and corrupted power, knocking out the failover capability. That lasted several hours. It could just be that since Intuit serves consumers that are vocal, we hear more about outages than we would at another major corporation.

- News and Analysis
- Written by mark
Given that the firm was named to Microsoft’s Inner Circle this year, it’s interesting that the CEO and founder of reseller Norriq has gone out the door this week. The Danish firm has issued a press release stating that the board of directors has dismissed CEO Bo Martinsen. (Bo knows Dynamics?) The company also hired a new CFO for its French business. Norriq is the third important Dynamics reseller in Europe to undergo serious changes. That includes the sale this month of reselling operations by both Qurius and Columbus IT Partner to Prodware. All four companies made the Inner Circle for 2011.
