What drives people to the intranet and what keeps them coming back? The Killer Apps, the things you simply cannot live without, or at least that you don't want to live without. Killer applications become killer when people are either told to use them, or when the employees realize how good the feature is and spread the word.
The report contains 82 design guidelines based on usability analysis of the killer apps on 15 companies' intranets.
186 pages. Richly illustrated with 116 color screenshots from 15 different intranets, showing examples of highly-usable design.

Who Should Read This Report?
|
|
Anybody who is responsible for the design, implementation, or strategy of intranets.
Conducting similar usability research yourself to collect comparative design lessons from a large number of intranets would cost a fortune, if you could ever get enough companies to let you in the door. Realistically, reading this report is the only way you will find out how users actually use a wide range of intranet design alternatives.
