Tough to give a meaningful answer with no given requirements (desired feature set, size of the team and experience of the coders, maintenance requirements, etc...)

Hi Jo,

Generally, if the intranet requirements contain such notions as edition collaboration, updating content, access control, translation, versioning, Webdav access, high load and clustering, then you may want to not re-invent the wheel, and start off with an existing solution, eZ Publish being one of the enterprise-grade options. Anecdotally, France Telecom Research & Development has been using eZ Publish for several years for sharing knowledge internally (5 000 employees).

Cheers,

I would definitely suggest to start with eZ Publish and the extend it to meet the needs for special functionality.

In this way you can use all the power from both technologies.

I used this approach on an Intranet site (although it didn't need many complex customizations) and also for many public portal that needed special functionality.

And it works really well.
