Summary

This is your chance to catch up on the in-depth case studies of 10 past winners from the manufacturing sector. The report is richly illustrated with 145 screenshots, giving readers the unique opportunity to see good intranet designs that are usually hidden behind a firewall.

Of course, some of these profiles are a few years old by now, and the winning intranets may have been redesigned and don't look like the screenshots in their write-ups anymore. But even the oldest winners still contain many good ideas that the vast majority of intranets today would do well in emulating. And the war stories of what it took the winning teams to persevere and get a great design done certainly continue to ring true today, as they will ten years from now.

Who Should Read This Report?

• Anybody in charge of an intranet or its design, within the manufacturing sector, unless they have already read all past editions of the Intranet Design Annual.

Collecting similar benchmarking and best practice information from a large set of intranets yourself would probably take you two to three months, if you could ever get enough other companies to let you in the door. Realistically, reading this report is the only way you will get the scoop on this many intranet projects.

Please help us continue publish low-price reports by buying a site license if you have colleagues who will read the report. If you only need it for yourself, then that's obviously what the single-user license is for. If somebody "gives" you a copy, then please buy a download anyway to keep prices down in the future.
