Your Existing Stack

.
.
The most important aspect of evaluating Drupal withan existing stack is knowing what it can work well with:
Wikis Media/Digital Asset Management Systems
Messaging / Social Media Platforms Time-Tracking / Resourcing Toolkits HR Management Products
These toolsets can and should remain in-place and integrate cleanly with Drupalsarchitecture and design - as the face of your companys employee experience.
Drupal is the best at handling content, including news posts, announcements, customemployee apps/processes, and resource organization. It has a built-in taxonomy andtagging system that makes it easy to organize and display your existing content. Drupalexcels at replacing antiquated workspace, news, forum, search, and link portal apps.

Project Scope
mediacurrent.com
Need for ScaleBuilt for scalability, Drupal is an effective platform for Intranets both big and small. AtMediacurrent, weve leveraged Drupals versatility for many Intranet projects, from our owncompany Intranet up to enterprise-level clients with over 10,000 employees.
With Drupal you have access to thousands of developers and hundreds of agencies availableto support the product, which means organizations of any size can find labor to supporttheir site. In addition, Drupals open source licensing offers hundreds of feature possibilitiestypically not available in most other CMSs.
Budget
Proprietary CMS Intranet platforms often pigeonhole organizations into annual licensingcontracts, typically based on number of users, while offering limited feature options.Compared to these costly proprietary platforms, the cost of running a Drupal Intranet issignificantly less.
Your individual budget will vary depending on the required customization.
Is Drupal a fit for my budget and number of employees?

Distributions
mediacurrent.com
.
.
Starting with a Drupal Distribution as a foundation may bea best option if your Intranets functional requirements donot involve a high level of customization and launchingquickly is the highest priority.
Drupal Distributions such as Open AtriumorOpenluciusare pre-configured installations that already haveembedded Intranet-type features such as groups,commenting, activity streams, following, trendingcontent, blogging, and a customizable user interface.Moreover, because Drupals architecture is based on theconcept of overrides, these Distributions can be furtherenhanced with custom backend or frontend featureswithout compromising the default features theyrepackaged with.
