The finalists for the 2015 Intranet Awards

We asked to see the most memorable, essential, and easy-to-use intranets in business, nonprofits and government agencies. We wanted to know who leads in building internal communication platforms that keep employees engaged, collaborative, more knowledgeable than ever-and on the same page.

We asked, and you delivered. Our judges have chosen the best.

Next, our judges will go over the semi-finalists in eleven categories and name the best of the best in the 2015 Intranet Awards. Who will be the first-ever winners in Ragan.com’s Intranet Awards? Look for the Ragan.com Special Edition in early November to find out.

The Ragan staff thanks all who entered the 2015 Intranet Awards and wishes our semi-finalists the best of luck in the last round of judging!
