Credit Suisse AG
The Credit Suisse Corporate Web Team designed their intranet as a platform, to put the employee, not the organization, at the center of the intranet. Personalization, customization, sharing and collaboration shift the focus to people, helping employees get their work done and find the information they need.

Duke Energy
The Duke Energy intranet team focused on strong planning and incremental change to transform the site into a useful tool primed to provide information, simplify work, and encourage communication. This feat was made all the more impressive while working with SharePoint under the constraint of using no customization.

Heineken International
Heineken's BrandPortal gives worldwide users quick access to brand assets on a colorful site offering an ever-growing array of collaborative features. Features such as Heineken on the Web, which presents a snapshot of what customers are saying about the brand on Twitter, blogs and YouTube, take the site beyond the ordinary.

In six months' time, the KT intranet team turned an information center into a collaborative and dynamic site allowing employees and management to connect, communicate and get their work done. Colleagues can communicate through the site's IP telephony or tools for faxing, emailing, or text messaging and share ideas through personal blogs, micro-blogging and forums.
