What challenges did Intuit face before AI implementation?

Legacy on-prem contact center scaling was time-consuming and costly. Intuit had to physically install multiple servers and maintain separate contact center servers for different business units. Customers had to repeat information when transferred across business lines, and voice/chat integration was lengthy.

What was the impact of the AI solution?

Deployment time reduced to 2 weeks from 6 months. Scaled agents from 6,000 to 11,000 during peak season in minutes. Reduced operational costs by paying by usage instead of hardware/licenses. Improved customer experience with seamless data transfer and better voice clarity.
