Power supply problems to accountancy software business Intuit, has seen its rivals Sage reaping the benefits.
Intuit, which provides both online and on-premise software to customers, has been hit with a series of power failures affecting its US internet components - meaning customers were having difficulty filing tax returns and accounts online.
Sage, as the main competitor to Intuit, saw its shares rise 3p to 248p on the back of the news.
Although the system is currently up and running, having suffered problems over the last two days, customers remain "furious" and have threatened to leave QuickBooks, Intuit's main accountancy software, according to The Times.
Compared to Sage, Intuit currently has more applications that are internet, or "cloud", based which has highlighted some of the concerns customers have regarding online technology.
