"CIO Journal incorrectly listed Contoso as a company that picked Microsoft over Google Apps. We regret the error."


This shows how "out of touch" C level corporate folks can be.

I'd heard that Northwest Traders was thinking of going O365 as well.

I think it's from here: http://blogs.wsj.com/cio/2012/04/09/google-organizational-changes-cloud-the-future-of-apps/ They probably confused Contoso with Fabrikam, common mistake.

Fabrikam is still the "TWO (The world onine)" database in SQL server.
SO what is the ticker symbol for TWO?

Perhaps they are in new cloud provider?
