The benefit NOT enjoyed by Intuit when they moved various services to AWS was:
Hosting on Amazon increased exposure to their line of products, thereby increasing sales and their global customer base.
Explanation:
1. Cost savings: Intuit benefitted from cost savings as peak traffic was handled by Amazon's servers, eliminating the need for Intuit to purchase additional systems. This helped in reducing operational costs.
2. Faster and more efficient integration of new services: Intuit was able to integrate new services more quickly and efficiently by utilizing existing services like Amazon's Chatbot for customer service. This integration streamlined their operations and improved customer experience.
3. Reduced data center expenditures: By leveraging AWS services, Intuit was able to reduce data center expenditures, including the sale of their largest data center. This led to savings in maintenance costs and operational expenses.
In conclusion, while Intuit enjoyed cost savings, faster service integration, and reduced data center costs by moving to AWS, the specific benefit of increased exposure to their product line and customer base as mentioned in the question was not a direct advantage of their transition to AWS.
