Intraspect 5 Applications: Collaboration was the name of the game this past year, and after examining a boatload of collaborative tools and product suites, we knew Intraspect Software's Intraspect 5 Applications-Product Collaboration had earned not only our Business Applications Product of the Year award--it also deserved our top honors for Most Outstanding Product of the Year. Intraspect combines the features of collaboration and knowledge management on an enterprise scale and offers choices galore--from operating system to database to browser--at a competitive price.
Although Instraspect lacked some technologically savvy real-time features when we tested it (see "Sharing Is Daring"), the product provided a sweet suite of tools for just about any collaborative enterprise initiative. Its single platform for collaboration, which lets information flow smoothly among and between groups, can be used by product planners, customer-relations professionals and IT managers.
The system's search capabilities, enhanced by content indexing, are another top-notch aspect. These functions, combined with the shared workspace, or c-space, give users with diverse needs a common ground on which to collaborate and manage knowledge on an enterprise scale.

Portal

WINNER: Plumtree Corporate Portal 4.0
While it seems that everyone and their brother has a portal these days, Plumtree's Corporate Portal stands out from the crowd and deserves this year's Well-Connected award in the Portal category.
Plumtree's Corporate Portal has a superior management interface, a scalable and fault-tolerant architecture, and, most importantly, a long list of partners. It also demonstrated careful attention to in-house developers' needs during our hands-on testing last summer. Partnership is the name of the game when it comes to aggregating content, and Plumtree has done a great job working with other IT vendors to integrate content and make it easier for people to get their work done.
