Businesses nationally have been locked out of cloud accounting software Xero, which has been impacted by a global outage.
“We’re aware of an issue preventing some customers from logging into Xero,” the company said in a statement. Xero said in an update on Wednesday afternoon that some customers had been able to successfully log in, and are being encouraged to check the company’s status page for updates.Last year Xero, which offers entirely cloud-based accounting software for small businesses, shed 15 per cent of its staff – around 800 jobs – amid a broader tech downturn.Technology outages are becoming more common and more severe.
