Editor's Notes

  1. 30 aastase ajalooga USA finantstarkvara firma Intuit kaalus kas tuua välja mobiilpangarakendus või mitte. Nad polnud kindlad, kas inimesed seda kasutada tahavad. Ikkagi uus asi ju. Nad otsustasid testida. Ehitasid valmis lahenduse esimese lihtsa versiooni ja… … läksid muhvineid müüma. Idee oli lihtne – muhvin maksis sularahas tasudes 2$, mobiilpanga rakenduse abil tasudes 1$. Nad tahtsid näha kas inimesed viitsivad selle rakendusega „jännata“ ning kas saavad sellega hakkama. Intuit sai sellest katsest, õigemini katsete seeriast, kinnitust õigel kursil olemisele. Nad tõid rakenduse turule ja täna moodustab see olulise osa nende ärist.
