2008 Intranet Innovation Awards are now open for entries!

The 2008 Intranet Innovation Awards are now open for submissions, with a closing date of 16 May 2008.

All intranet teams are encouraged to enter their innovative approaches to the design or delivery intranets. This may be may be an entirely new piece of intranet functionality, or a good idea implemented particularly well.

Uniquely, these awards recognise individual intranet improvements, and not intranets as a whole. Submissions can be made across four categories:

• core intranet functionality
• communication and collaboration
• frontline delivery
• business solutions

Winners will be showcased in the Intranet Innovations report, as well as in articles, YouTube interviews, online presentations, international conferences and major industry journals.

The inaugural Intranet Innovation Awards in 2007 attracted entries from across the globe, uncovering and sharing many great ideas. Winners came from Italy, USA, UK, Denmark, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand.

Fiat Automobiles, the platinum winner, used their "Avanti e Veloci" web portal to help turn around the fortunes of their whole business. The Environment Agency developed a rich set of personas to support the delivery of better intranet content and functionality. City of Casey and SunGard AvantGard innovated the traditional staff directory.

Perkins Eastman created active collaborative communities, while Nycomed brought product information together in a single location, no small challenge for a global pharmaceuticals business. QBE created an interactive 'Investigator Wizard' to assist in assessing insurance claims.

With entries open for the 2008 awards, this is another opportunity for intranet teams to have their time in the light.
