The best project, which won a €2,000 prize for its team members, went to the Feedbacker Forum team.

The other teams that made up the top 3 projects were the HR in a pocket team – who designed a mobile interface for HR information and requests, a project that was proposed by Accountor; and the Daily Coach team, who designed an online forum for employees to help with professional development, which was proposed by Taito United.
