Important Information for Testers

Attention, Testers,

Thank you for participating with us on this first phase of the Intuit Accountant Work Exchange test.  We?ve reached March 7, which was our target date for completing Phase I.  We?ve been closely monitoring your feedback, and I?ve had the chance to speak with many of you about your experience so far.  We know there have been some really good experiences, and we also realize there are some things we can do to improve.  This is just the beginning.

This post is to let you know that we are indeed planning to continue this test.   Although we are in the heart of tax season now, we feel to continue working and improving upon the site as fast as we can, and hope that you can participate with us as we make those improvements.  By the first week of April we plan to introduce significant improvements, including:

• The ability to create and post unique projects for exchanging work (including the ability to search for projects)


• An upgraded profile tool (including an ability to search on key words)


• Continued access to the forum you currently are using


• Improved automated notifications (e.g., when someone responds to your post)


• More frequent and involved direct interaction with you via the bulletin board ? you can help us design as we go


• And so much more as we go along





Of course, the site will ultimately be successful if you are able to either find qualified help or find work that matches your skills and business goals.  So we hope you’ll continue to visit the site regularly.  Be sure to tell friends and colleagues about the site too; the more participants, the better the chance of a work exchange.  We wish you continued success during this busy time of year.
