THE
CHALLENGE

Solution

Fusion92 pitched H&R block a breakthrough idea... skip store shelves entirely, creating a direct-to-consumer sales channel for their tax prep software, saving consumers time and money.

In addition, we patented software and rolled out a new online authentication mechanism designed to streamline the software installation experience and close the door on illegitimate copies of the software.
