Dominik Steiner has been named CEO of Alfapeople, a Dynamics VAR that specializes in retail. He replaces Michael Gaardboe, who had held the job at the Denmark-based operation since 2010.

Denmark-based reseller Columbus showed decent revenue growth for the nine months ended September 30 despite a slowdown in the SMB business in the United States. The company this week reported before tax profit of roughly $9.6 million for the reported period, up 4 percent from a year earlier.

Columbus said this week it plans to utilize its January acquisition of Swedish iStone to take the Infor M3 (Lawson) product line global. The initiative is a major change for Columbus which had concentrated on the Dynamics line and its internally developed Columbus Software.

Denmark-based Columbus said it is integrating SMB and enterprise operations in the United States ahead of schedule because of results for the half ended June 30. The reselling and software development company did not spell out what that meant during this week's webcast.
