Drupal and Alfresco – a Recipe for Intranet Success
Drupal has been recognized for some time as a flexible platform for building lightweight social applications that go beyond “typical” consumer-facing websites, such as intranets for collaborative teams. There have been several projects over the past few years that have been aimed at making this type of Drupal deployment easier and more user-friendly, most notably, the recent Open Atrium release.

As a consultant specializing in enterprise Drupal, I often find myself answering a relatively small (and consistent) set of questions about the Drupal platform early on in any engagement.
