An IPS Magic Quadrant™ Leader
four years in a row

Interact has been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Intranet Packaged Solutions in all four editions since it was first published in 2023. We believe that consistency and long-term industry recognition matters as much as the placement itself. Intranet decisions last for years, and buyers need a vendor that will still be investing in the product when the contract comes up for renewal.

Gartner Magic Quadrant for Intranet Packaged Solutions, September 2026 — Interact Software positioned as a Leader

What’s new for Interact in Q4 2026?

Since September 2026, we launched two additions to Interact’s core platform:

Cue adapts the intranet to each employee in real time, based on their role, team, location, tenure and what’s happening at work.

Conductor is an AI operator for communicators and the AI that runs your intranet. Give it a goal and it builds the plan, content, approvals, follow-up and measurement.

AI that finally gives employees what they need, when they need it.

Millions of signals each day drown employees in noise and distraction. Interact’s AI-native platform prioritises employee tasks in real time, turning every intranet into a personal, powerful assistant that is context-aware and adaptive to every need. It’s work, as it should be, with Cue.

Retail intranet example: store calendar campaign rollout, SharePoint promo schedule and shift schedule shortcuts
Intranet community, blog post and recognition cards

Information employees trust. Governance organizations need.

Governance and targeting has become crucial in the AI wave. Employees search for answers they can trust; employers need a platform that keeps information up to date, relevant, and perimssion-aware. It’s the intranet, as it should be, with Conductor.

Built for complex organizations

Interact builds employee experiences for enterprises with tens of thousands of employees across multiple sites and countries. It connects to the systems those organizations already use, delivering an integrated, familiar, and hyper-personalized platform.

FAQs

What is Interact?

Interact is an AI-native employee experience platform that brings intranet, internal communications, and HR tools together in one system, so employees get the right information in every role. More than 1,500 companies worldwide use Interact.

How is an employee experience platform different from a traditional intranet?

A traditional intranet stores and shares content. Interact’s employee experience platform delivers personalization, two-way communication, recognition, surveys, and embedded AI, so it shapes how employees actually experience work rather than just hosting documents.

Who is Interact for?

Interact is built for enterprises that need to connect office, frontline, and deskless employees across multiple locations, brands, and languages. It is trusted by 1,500+ organizations worldwide, including global brands across retail, manufacturing, and healthcare.

How does Interact reach frontline and deskless employees?

Interact reaches frontline and deskless teams through a dedicated, mobile-first Frontline App and digital signage. Employees get instant access to schedules, resources, updates, and secure chat on their phones, while signage pushes critical information to warehouses, break rooms, and shop floors. Whether or not employees have a desk or a company email, they stay informed, updated and efficient.

Is Interact secure and compliant for enterprise use?

Yes. Interact meets ISO 27001, GDPR, and SOC 2 standards, so the platform and its AI features operate within enterprise-grade security and governance frameworks. Large organizations can scale communication and automation without compromising data protection or compliance.
