You and your peers have spoken. You've chosen the winners in five categories in the Intranet Journal Product of the Year Awards 2009.

You'll see familiar names in the list of winners and runners-up. But you'll also be impressed by all the new entries this time around, proving how rife with choices most of these categories are.

Sorce Intranet had a phenomenal year, winning two categories -- Document Management and Intranet Design -- with large margins of victory. Sorce obviously has many happy users, plus an effective get-out-the-vote plan. We congratulate Sorce and all of this year's winners.

Intranet Journal has a tradition of recognizing and honoring the best IT product vendors through these awards. For the winners, these annual awards are a mark of distinction and symbol of achievement in a crowded, highly competitive marketplace.

Blogging Software

Blogger.com (which includes Blogspot.com) was the winner, with Movable Type placing second. Blogger also won this category last year. The company, owned by Google, has had a busy start to 2009.

Document Management/Collaboration Product

This is usually a crowded, competitive category, and this year was no exception. Sorce Intranet won, with EMC Documentum ECM 6.5 a healthy second.

It was one of two wins this year for Sorce. The company is on a roll, reporting that for the third consecutive year, it grew at over 30 percent in 2008.

Enterprise Search Tool

In this category, Google's dominance carried the day, as it did last year. X1 Enterprise Search placed second.

Google continues to innovate, and the smaller enterprise search engines just can't keep up. In 2008, Google developed a new feature for its Google Enterprise Search Appliance that lets businesses look for and read content in any of 34 languages.

Intranet Design Software

Let's hear it for Sorce Intranet. The company won again, this time by a wide margin over Interact Intranet. Sorce also took this category last year.

Semantic Web Application

The tightest race this year was in this category. Yahoo SearchMonkey climbed into the top spot, with Calais by Thomson Reuters placing second.
