Intuit Data Center Power Outage

INTUIT SYSTEMS DOWN:     It may take all day to be back on line: 


There was a massive power outage in the main Data Center last night which had an impact on many systems across Intuit.  This does not appear to have impacted the primary customer-facing systems, but is having ongoing impacts on QuickBase and reporting.  Please be patient while IT works to ensure everything is back on line and working as expected.


The current known applications still impacted is as follows:


eStore and vanity URLs

Order Services

Quickbase

Intuit websites

Homestead.com

Possibly Field Service Management

Merchant Services – credit card processing – many are impacted not all
POS Multi-Store Customers – will not be able to synch stores

Intuit is working to restore full service to a number of websites that became unavailable at about 7 p.m. Tuesday, Pacific time. Our first priority is to give customers full and complete access to our sites and their data as soon as possible. We are also investigating the cause of the problem and will take measures prevent a recurrence. We appreciate our customers’ patience and will provide more information as it becomes available.
