Op 28 februari werd door de Nielsen Norman Group bekend gemaakt wat volgens hun eigen criteria de beste 10 intranets van 2005 waren.

On average, this year’s winning intranets increased site use by 149% with designs that supported bigger screens, multinational users, collaboration, easily updated content, and factory-floor workers.

Deze keer een bijzondere winnaar.

Eén van de winnaars was Orbis Technology (een klein Engels software ontwikkel bedrijf). Het bijzondere was dat hun intranet volledig op een wiki-omgeving is gebaseerd.

Orbis has probably the most unusual intranet approach, building its site entirely on a Wiki platform. In this collaborative authoring environment, any employee can edit any page at any time (except for a few modification-controlled pages). As a result, employees can easily and immediately update information whenever they come across outdated content. The result is that the Orbis intranet is much more richly informative and current than what is typical for small organizations with limited intranet resources. Even companies that don’t want to completely open up edit-access can benefit from making department- and project-level pages easier to edit.
