Intranet Innovation Portal

TimKautz.com was brought into the Hewlett Packard organization to provide a fresh, creative direction that was not available in-house. The project was an interactive, intranet website that provided a platform for employees to contribute ideas about innovation and also share and collaborate with their peers.
