CEO of Intuit Apologizes After Major Service Outage

Jun 18, 2010

Intuit’s CEO Brad Smith issued a sincere apology via the company’s blog following a service outage this week that impacted thousands of clients. Smith said he hopes to earn back the trust of the businesses that employ his company’s services.

Following a routine maintenance procedure Tuesday night, an accidental power failure during that procedure affected both the company’s primary and backup systems, taking a number of Intuit Websites and services offline. The outage lasted until Thursday for some customers, when Intuit sites, including TurboTax Online, QuickBooks Online, Quicken and QuickBase, were brought back online.
