This application of emerging technologies is driven by the information and patterns in our customers’ data. Rather than having to make their own guesses about the future of their businesses, customers can rely on Intuit for a personalized cash flow forecast that leverages their data to make predictions. At Intuit, we’re constantly working to identify patterns within the data across our full breadth of customers, in order to make personalized cash flow predictions for every small business. To do this well is a difficult challenge, involving a deep understanding of how small businesses operate, as well as utilizing sophisticated prediction algorithms – but the breadth and richness of our customers’ data is what really makes this possible. Stay tuned for more deep dives into various experiments we conducted and demonstrated at our Innovation Lab event!
