Congratulations to the 2015 Intranet Design Annual Award winners!

Accolade

The Accolade team created an intranet solution that integrates the tools needed to do day-to-day work at the organization. With a focus on serving customers more effectively and efficiently and armed with data from user research, the team created a centralized site that combines customer relationship management, task management, and social tools into a cohesive experience, aiding employees and customers alike.

Adobe

Creating a unified intranet was no small feat for the Adobe intranet team. They tackled the mammoth undertaking by simultaneously re-platforming, re-architecting, and migrating content from disparate sites and systems. The resulting site uses streamlined navigation to move employees easily between areas of content while allowing them to connect and communicate.
