DeGroot said that while Intuit "may have moved more upmarket than other vendors," it's products are still mostly purchased by corporate users at the workgroup level, rather than implemented by central IT. That may allow it to fit in a niche between Microsoft's Office Live and the offerings of Web start-ups, which are designed for smaller firms, and Microsoft's SharePoint and InfoPath, which are designed for big companies and "require buy-in from the entire organization and take a lot of work to manage," said DeGroot.
