Document Management

When Intuit first discussed its upcoming web-based practice management application late last year, the product had a target date for full introduction and a stated name. Now, it has neither and the company isn't talking about any specifics in either area. Instead of giving a roll-out schedule, the company says the Phase One pilot is complete and offers information on the next stage of the pilot program.

Intuit had also talked about a May introduction. But instead, a spokesperson noted that, "Based on the input from customers using ProLine Practice Management during the pilot late last year, we decided to take the additional time to create a solution that incorporated more of the features and capabilities our customers were asking for."

In a December press release, the company said the test would last through April 30 and was to support Lacerte 2010 and QuickBooks 2008 through 2011.

The company originally said 1,000 firms would participate in the pilot, and then raised the number to 2,000 after April 30 had passed.  The need for a second pilot is also a change of plans. Instead of providing information about the commercial launch the Intuit website advises potential users to "Stay tuned for the second phase of our Pilot." That is slated for this year.

Intuit has demonstrated the product at the state society shows this year and provides information about features on its web site.
