In its desire tо аccelerаte grоwth, Intuit leаders explоred a number of options. They noticed the rapid rise of cloud-based software companies like Dropbox and DocuSign and explored how they can offer similar value to their customers. Specifically, they began by exploring how to bring Docsign's e-signature capabilities to Intuit's customers. The company already had an internal development project to offer this capability, but the project was not moving as fast as the company has expected. It could continue developing the e-signature capability internally or decide to buy a company called HelloSign which had issued press releases about being ready to offer these features to cloud storage customers. Intuit leaders are exploring how to bring e-signature capabilities to their customer base to accelerate growth. They are evaluating two primary paths: Buy an existing player (HelloSign) or Build the capability internally. Assume a 3-year strategic horizon (Years 1, 2, and 3), a 0% discount rate (negligible interest rates), and that any successful rollout yields $40M in annual revenue for the remainder of the 3-year horizon. The Buy Option: Costs $45M upfront (Year 0). It has a 25% chance of integration failure (yielding $0 revenue over the horizon) and a 75% chance of success. If successful, it rolls out immediately, capturing revenue in Years 1, 2, and 3. The Build Option: Costs $25M upfront (Year 0). It has a 100% success rate but takes exactly one year to develop, meaning it captures revenue only in Years 2 and 3.
