Dear Analyst / Institutional Investor:
As outlined in the attached press release, this morning we announced that Digital Insight has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Intuit, a market leader in financial management software for consumers and small businesses. Considering our long-standing relationship, I would like to thank you for your support and explain the strategic rationale that led us to conclude that the combination with Intuit best serves shareholder interests.
As you are surely aware, Intuit is a leading provider of business, financial management and tax solutions for consumers and small businesses. Intuits brands which include Quicken, QuickBooks and TurboTax have achieved strong market positions and enjoy an extraordinary reputation for customer satisfaction. Todays news underscores two industry leaders joining forces to better serve financial institutions and their most important customers via the online channel. In fact, several recent articles from The Wall Street Journal and other major outlets report that the next generation of online banking solutions will offer features typically included in personal financial management programs like Intuits Quicken. We couldnt agree more. Combining with Intuit ideally positions Digital Insight to capitalize on the markets future direction.
Our Vision: Redefine the Way Small Businesses and Consumers Manage Their Businesses and Financial Lives
It is important to note that Intuit and Digital Insight have complementary assets and competencies that, in combination, will allow us to transform the world of online financial services. For example, Intuit, Turbo Tax, QuickBooks and Quicken rank among the worlds most widely-recognized and respected brands serving 18 million consumers and 7 million small businesses. Digital Insight, on the other hand, enjoys a similar reputation for innovation and service among financial institutions and is a recognized leader in online delivery.
In addition, Digital Insight has world-class competence in delivering online financial services in a fully outsourced, hosted environment. Intuit has world-class competence in product design, usability, marketing, consumer research, and product development. (We expect Intuits expertise in marketing directly to consumers and small businesses, and extensive understanding of end user behavior will greatly advance our efforts to encourage higher online banking adoption.) This represents a formidable lineup of assets. Together, we can leverage these assets to deliver a new generation of online banking solutions to consumers and businesses and position our clients, better than ever, to compete and win in the market.
Digital Insight to Lead Financial Institutions Division Within Intuit
Intuits decision to acquire Digital Insight was based on a year-long analysis designed to identify new growth opportunities for Intuit. The Intuit management team reached several conclusions: (1) Intuit could create a major new growth engine by building direct and collaborative relationships with financial institutions; (2) To be successful, Intuit needed to partner with outside experts; and (3) Digital Insight provided the ideal combination of reputation, relationships, and capabilities. As a result, Intuit has decided to launch a major new division designed to serve the needs of financial institutions.
The Digital Insight team will be responsible, within Intuit, for building and operating this new division. I will continue as Digital Insights President and expect there will be few, if any, changes in either organization or operations.
Once again, I sincerely thank you for your long-standing support of our vision as a standalone public company. I am very excited about this new chapter for Digital Insight with our new partner Intuit, and I look forward to keeping in touch with you in the future.
Jeff
