Sensors and effectors of IoT are solving problems in new ways, but small businesses have been slow to join the quantified world. They’ll need information from IoT using applications as varied as the businesses themselves. This presentation delivered at the Internet of Things Expo by Roger Meike covers how product-based small businesses can benefit from apps specifically designed to help them collect, analyze and use operational data to improve their productivity and efficiency. The quantified small business will not only be possible; it will be the norm.
Roger is a Distinguished Engineer and Director of Technology Innovation at Intuit Inc investigating intelligent systems, internet of things, wearables and cryptocurrency.

I got the delightful opportunity to speak to the graduating students in communication and marketing. Introducing them into the world of the Internet of Things and the impact on them and society!
Information is the key to success for any firm nowadays. However, the information gathered is a mixture of vital and useless data. Visit Divensi.com to get the best Big Data analytics for business in Seattle, Washington.
The world is changing quickly. Ubiquitous access to information has fundamentally changed the expectations of customers and business owners. As we get comfortable in having conversations with Amazon Alexa, Google Home or Apple’s Siri, we now want our business software to respond to our questions in an intelligent and human-like manner. In short, we are moving away from reports and dashboards to the next wave of technology that will help us focus on tasks that we are professionally trained for and also guide us in making the right and informed decisions.
Your ability is important, but it's your agility in business that will determine your ultimate success. #AgilityTrumpsAbility
Key points:
· Chunkification has fully blossomed. But chunks are not sustainable in the long run. Problems with chunkification:
o Customer have to pay more for all the chunks.
o Integration of chunks can often be expensive and complex. May have to re-configure each app to play well with the others.
o Single Sign-on hides the fact that you're switching to chunks, but has intermittent failures.
o Digital plumbing "leaks" continue to frustrate users and adds support costs.
o Customers want a "single throat to choke" for support
o With no revenue from chunks, the only way for software vendors to monetize is to build or buy the chunks.
o Big Bad Data - integrating data across multiple apps often creates copies of data that becomes out of date and/or inaccurate. When that data is aggregated into "Big Data" sets, the problems multiply and the quality of information is depleted.
· The Big Convergence: The pendulum is shifting back away from Chunkification towards integrated suites with single databases as opposed to APIs that transfer (and copy) data from system to system.
As of November 2016, adoption rates of cloud and mobile accounting solutions are going through the roof, but for many small businesses the cloud is still a scary place to store data and operate a business. A big part of the resistance is that today's internet lacks a "trust layer" to provide security, identity management, and data validation.
The next frontier in accounting technology will be filled with increased automation of transactional data, global commerce solutions based on digital currency and blockchain technology, and renewed focus on security and identity management.
In this session, Doug Sleeter will open your mind to the compelling technologies that will drive solutions in the future. As Doug says, your ability is important, but it's your agility in business that will determine your ultimate success. #AgilityTrumpsAbility

Building customer relationships and delivering value in a market driven by continual innovation requires a new kind of awareness and understanding. It requires transforming how we relate to our customers, our products, our jobs, our processes, and the future, and how we engage the market. It requires continually evaluating and harnessing emerging technologies and behaviors that can help us accelerate the value we create for our customers.

In a business world where speed is the new imperative, everyone is talking about the need for transformation. As a result, the role of testing will change forever. Testing can no longer be the “protectors of production”. To stay relevant in a world where the line between business and technology becomes invisible, what must testing do to stay relevant?

Financing Small Business Success: The Rise of Online LendingIntuit Inc.
As part of its ongoing efforts to solve persistent pain points for small business, Intuit released a new research report, “Financing Small Business Success” which shows how online lenders are reshaping the small business financing market.
The research was conducted by Ebiquity and based on 500 interviews held July 20-27. Research was completed online among owners and managers of U.S. small businesses that have attempted, either successfully or unsuccessfully, to secure funding for their company through business financing channels.
The forecast was prepared by Emergent Research, based on existing assessments of the small business credit market outlined in the Harvard Business School paper, “The State of Small Business Lending: Credit Access During the Recovery and How Technology May Change the Game.” The forecast assumes moderate U.S. economic growth averaging 2-3 percent over the forecast timeframe.
This is the presentation I used to deliver my talk at the USID 2010 Conference in Hyderabad on 20-Nov, 2010. It was based on the Design Thinking exercise facilitated by the Intuit team. The presentation was created using the photographs and artifacts created by our team during the workshop.
The uncertainty advantage presents a chance to go well beyond the typical meaning of risk management -- that is, seeking ways to achieve the best of the worst outcomes -- to create new and sustainable value out of confusion.

Four Keys to Managing Stakeholder Expectations and Delivering ValueWorkfront
Managing stakeholder expectations is an important part of managing project-based work. If you're lucky, project stakeholders have clearly defined the value of what the successful outcome of their project might look like. Unfortunately, clearly defining the potential value of an initiative before the project has begun seems to be the exception rather than the rule in most organizations.
To help you avoid part of this trend, here are five key points to keep stakeholder expectations in check and deliver undeniable value...

Dispatches From The New Economy: The Five Faces Of The On-Demand EconomyIntuit Inc.
From people determined to be their own boss, to those embracing the flexibility to do something they love, to workers finding a replacement for a traditional job – people working in the on-demand economy are just about as diverse as the labor market itself. A new report from Intuit Inc. and Emergent Research shows that there are a broad range of motivations – and differing levels of satisfaction – among five distinct groups of on-demand workers:
The Business Builders – primarily driven by the desire to be their own boss. They represent 22 percent of on-demand workers.
The Career Freelancers – happily building a career through independent work. They represent 20 percent of on-demand workers.
The Side Giggers – looking to find financial stability by supplementing existing income. They represent 26 percent of on-demand workers.
The Passionistas – looking for the flexibility to do something they love. They represent 18 percent of on-demand workers.
The Substituters – replacing a traditional job that is no longer available. They represent 14 percent of on-demand workers.
Methodology
A total of 4,622 workers who find work opportunities via the platforms provided by the participating partner companies completed an online survey between September 11 and October 1, 2015. The results were weighted to reflect the proportion of workers in each of the following segments: Drivers/Delivery, Online Talent Marketplaces and Field Service/Onsite Talent. The weights were developed using earlier survey work that sized the on-demand economy. The largest weighted share of on-demand worker respondents from any single company is 16%, with most partner companies providing less than 10% of the respondents.

The Internet-of-Things: Is 2015 the year of IoTwaylay
The Internet-of-Things (IoT) embeds sensors in everyday objects and connects them to the cloud to enable a whole range of new services in various markets. The 2014 Gartner hype cycle for emerging technologies ranked the Internet-of-Things (IoT) at the top of the hype cycle. Every day, the news is full of new product announcements about IoT. This presentation goes beyond the hype and reviews the business and technology drivers behind IoT.
In partnership with IDG, our 2022 Insight Intelligent Technology™ Report examines how companies are making progress on long-term IT strategies to meet the changing, post-pandemic expectations of their businesses, their employees, and the market more broadly.

Working for yourself shouldn’t mean the odds of success are stacked against you. QuickBooks is committed to small business success with a comprehensive set of business tools that do the hard work for you – leveraging the latest in AI and emerging technologies to create a platform that evens the odds for small business owners.
In an effort to better understand the behaviors, attitudes and cash flow challenges experienced by small businesses and self-employed professionals around the world, Intuit QuickBooks released the “The State of Small Business Cash Flow” Report.
Entrepreneurs and small business owners are on the front lines, navigating the realities of automation. And they have unique advantages. The very fact that they are small and nimble makes small businesses well suited to the realities of the 21st century economy. They are able to quickly adapt, take advantage of new opportunities, and to pivot to serve customer expectations in a rapidly changing world.
To better understand how small businesses are adapting to the age of AI, Intuit conducted a survey examining attitudes towards automation technology today as well as perceptions on how automation technology will impact their business and lives over the next 5 years.

This session will help you deepen client relationships so they never dream of going to anyone else.
Attendees will learn where they have gaps in their client relationships or with providing services, and will leave with a specific plan to fill the gaps and transform client relationships for good.
It’s a given that the work that Accounting firms do today will look very different in the future. New technologies are emerging that will allow practitioners to gain efficiencies and uncover insights in ways that are not possible now, and firms will need to adopt very different methods to attract and retain great talent and keep relationships with clients healthy and strong. At the same time, competition will come from all sides and the firms that can deliver services in a way that clients need and want will be the ones that survive. Chris Hooper, The Accounting Futurist, will examine the major trends that are likely to disrupt practices in the next decade, and will identify steps that firm owners of all sizes can take now to ensure their firm not only survives, but thrives in the exciting new world of tomorrow.
The digital age requires you to evolve the tools and technologies you use. With this evolution, the old pricing methods don’t work anymore.
In this research-based session, Trent McLaren will share key pricing strategies designed to ensure you thrive in the digital age.

Let’s connect! Roger_Meike (at) Intuit (dot) com, Distinguished Engineer,
Director of Technology Innovation
Thank you for joining this session. I’m Roger Meike. Here’s a little bit about myself…
Role at Intuit: investigating intelligent systems, internet of things, wearables and cryptocurrency.
For consumers IoT means automation and technology that changes the way that you do things
For big businesses, it means data analytics. But for small business, it doesn't really mean anything.
Small businesses are being left behind because they have unique needs, don’t have the resources, market power of consumers, and aren’t driven by data. Many are passion projects. Then end up using paper and a pencil and falling behind.
Financial services and small businesses are not always the first to come to mind when thinking about building innovations and capitalizing on life changing trends. However, they are well-positioned to take great advantage of new technology.
Data are changing the way we solve problems.
Individuals use the “quantified self” to lose weight and change spending habits.
Large corporations use “big data analytics” to optimize supply chains and understand customer behavior.
The data revolution is changing the rules of commerce and helping level the playing field for small businesses. It’s like “Moneyball for Small Business,” meaning data will empower small businesses with analytics once only available to much larger companies.
The small business sector is significant. We keep a pulse on small businesses in the country, and they’re having a big impact on the economy.
For us at Intuit, understanding small businesses and the impact of new technology on them is central to what we do. We’re the operating system behind small business success. Our passion is to help them increase productivity, maintain compliance, and build their financial confidence.
We create business and financial management solutions that help simplify the business of life for small businesses, consumers, and accounting professionals around the world. Intuit’s flagship products and services – QuickBooks, TurboTax, and Mint – help customers run their small business, pay their bills, file their income taxes, and manage their finances.
We were founded in 1983, and have 7,700 employees.
We know small business. We have 37 million customers and handle sensitive customer information.
*37 million customers
*25% of the US gross domestic product flowing through QuickBooks
*Through Intuit Payroll, we pay 1 in 12 American workers
*6 out of 10 small businesses need access to short-term capital and they are declined for Small Business Loans. From data in QuickBooks, we can actually prescreen small businesses and get a 70% acceptance rate. We’ve facilitated $200M of loans.
*71% of accountants that use any Intuit product recommended a QuickBooks product to clients in 2014.
*More than 4,000 new QBO subscribers every 10 days
*We have 1 million QuickBooks Online Customers, took 7 years to get our first 100,000 customers and 2 months to get our last 100,000 customers
Within QBO:*$240 Billion invoices created
*$540 Billion Vendor Payments
*$19 Billion Gross Payroll Payments
*230K Accountants worldwide use QBOA*Customers are choosing cloud versions. 60% of new customers choose QuickBooks Online (v.desktop) and 90% chose TurboTax Online
* Intuit moves 40% of the nation’s tax returns to the IRS
We are still guided by one simple idea: improving our customers’ financial lives so profoundly they can’t imagine going back to the old way.
To achieve our goal, we teach innovation techniques inside and outside the company to drive innovation at scale. Customer-Driven Innovation and D4D– where first-hand customer observation uncovers unmet needs that we can solve well.
But according to some recent stats, small businesses have been slow to join the quantified world.
When asked in SMB Group’s 2015 SMB Routes to Market Study, “What are the top three technology areas that are most critical for your business to invest in over the next 12 months?” IoT ranked at or near the bottom. Only 18% of small and 13% of medium business decision-makers selected IOT as one of their top three priorities.

The development process requires investment;
small business resources vs. bigger company/developer resources to develop customer solutions
As a result, small business are getting left behind
EDITS: Scott Cook, post it notes, on the Labs website
On top of the Customer-driven innovation approach, we have to keep an eye on technology shifts. That’s what I do in my organization, which is called Innovation and Advanced Technologies. When technology shifts come up, they can catch us & also small businesses off-guard. We’re dedicated to looking at exactly those changes and how they affect customers. We help manage marrying the technology foresight with deep customer empathy to better innovate for our customers.
To understand new technology, we build things
Estimates today show that the number of devices connected to the Internet is expect to swell from about 10 billion today to 50 billion by 2020 , according to a 2015 DHL and Cisco Internet of Things Trend Report

In order for the ~28 million small businesses in America to remain relevant and competitive, they will need to make sense of the data that they will have access to. In particular, they will need tools and help to take advantage of the information that can be gleaned from sensors and effectors of the Internet of Thing.
Small businesses are each unique – one size can’t fit all
Small businesses have been slow to join the quantified world. Development process requires investment; Small business resources vs. bigger company/developer resources to develop customer solutions
As a result, small business are getting left behind
But, you can see IoT helping small businesses in action with efficient, real-time operations including payments & processing. For instance, GoPayment allows a business to accept payments on the go. Other real-time capabilities such as “smart” printed labeling, and remote camera monitoring help realize the potential of IoT for small businesses.
Wearables are another area where small businesses are taking advantage of this new trend.
What are the keys to a successful IoT offering for a small business?
Data does the work for you
Connected to a data platform to create meaningful experiences
Customer-driven innovation
Understand and identify the new technology and apply what you know about the changing technology to customers
Internet of Things is really just a tipping point on how data is going to affect customers. It’s going to give us a lot more data if we can understand how to work with IoT. It’s really about the Quantified Small Business.
We’ve found success with these principles on other technology platforms.
Data does the work for you -- with TurboTax Online, which taps into data to import W2s and other tax forms to simplify the process, returning users are often a third of the way done with their tax return before they even start entering information.

Mint has become a new bitcoin finance tracker.

The number of cloud based solutions and mobile apps will grow from 3.1 in 2015 to 8.2 in 2015. This is a 21.5% annual growth rate. According to a 2015 study from Intuit and Emergent Research
This just further reiterates – it’s the data, stupid.
For small businesses, our vision just like Taxes is that accounting is done for you. The key isn’t’ to give you more data, it’s to use the data to improve your experience—in accounting that would mean eliminating drudgery.
The welder story.
