Intranet Usability Guidelines
2nd Edition

Intranets Tested in the Usability Studies


Summary

The intranets in the following 27 organizations were subjected to user testing with real employees in order to generate our usability guidelines for intranets.

One company's intranet was tested in two countries to collect additional information about international usability of a multinational intranet. Thus, we have data from 28 tests at 27 organizations.
