The best things in life aren’t things
June 26th, 2008 – by TaraI saw this on a bumper sticker the other day and it really resonated with me. I do believe the best things in my life are the relationships I have and the experiences I share with those people. The past few weeks have a been a constant reminder of that truth, oddly enough both at home and at work.
I’ve had the continued pleasure of working with an amazing group of people dedicated to delivering an amazing experience for Intuit customers. They’ve been working long days, into the evening and on weekends to re-launch IntuitLabs. For the readers of the blog and visitors to the site the story isn’t about the re-launch, that’s very meaningful personally to the iLab team and Intuit. But what you really care about, and what I am equally proud of, is that the applications that are now available on the site.
Although they are things, they are really about solving problems, making life easier and generally improving life experiences. The apps you’ll find on IntuitLabs make it easier to connect with people (mobile and social), provide financial peace of mind (personal finance) and take the work out of running (your business). And for the developers, product managers, designers and more who have developed these applications, it’s about the experience of doing something they’re passionate about. And that’s priceless.

Knowing that our work would positively impact the lives of our customers is exactly what kept us (those on the intuitlabs re-launch team) motivated through our crazy month of June. Holly’s post on getting her hands dirty is a great example of the lengths we go to for our customers.
We know that this will all pay off in the months to come as we get feedback on what is working well and what we can improve both with the site and the products on it.
