ClearBox report
Many organizations invest in an intranet, but not every platform is actually used. Employees cannot find information, news feels like noise and the digital workplace does not fit in with daily work.
That is precisely why independent research is so valuable. ClearBox Consulting republished their comprehensive report on intranet and employee experience platforms in January 2026. They assess solutions based on real-world demos, customer feedback, and scenarios such as communication, knowledge management, and mobile support.
The conclusion? A successful intranet is not about a beautiful homepage, but about real impact on work and employees.
The 3 most important success factors according to ClearBox
1. The intranet becomes the 'front door' of the organization again
ClearBox sees a clear shift: through AI and smart integrations, the intranet is once again becoming the central point of contact for employees. Not as an extra tool, but as a place where work comes together.

2. Communication must be multichannel and targeted
Organizations want to reach employees through news, Teams, mobile, and screens — without duplication of effort. ClearBox sees that internal communication teams have an increasing need for campaigns, planning and analytics.

3. Finding knowledge should be easier than ever
Employees expect Google-like search experiences. ClearBox emphasizes that intranets are increasingly about knowledge management and information findability — especially in sectors such as healthcare and government.
