SAP intranet (on which I work) makes Top 10 Intranets
It was pretty cool to see our name, “SAP AG, Germany,” listed in this year’s Top 10 Intranets by Jacob Nielsen. Even more exciting will be next year’s winners, as there have been some major improvements since the entry package was submitted back in the summer. Not only was our intranet (corporate portal) completely rebranded, but numerous other enhancements (better enterprise content management for example), have been and will be made in ‘08.
Interesting (from a KM perspective), was the following paragraph in Nielsen’s article:
In previous years, “knowledge management” was a much-discussed buzzword for intranets. This year, most of the winners emphasized the same goals as the knowledge management movement, but with a rather different approach: they recognized that knowledge resides with people. As a result, many designs focused on improving access to the people who have the needed knowledge.
I’m pretty excited about some of the things happening here, even though other things still drive me bonkers. 2008 should be a great year.
