Please recommend an integrated solution for a corporate intranet?

Question

I did some searching on google and stackoverflow, and was dissatisfied with the results.
What I want is an app that is:

1. easy to install and configure
2. easy to use
3. multilingual
4. preferably lightweight
5. preferably low-cost or open-source

and integrates:

1. List item
2. hierarchical content management (with different views for different people) supporting office documents and pdf
3. collaboration software (esp. wiki)
4. project management
5. department user management
6. social networking a plus

The huge solutions from IBM, EMC and Open Text seem to create more problems than solutions for a mid-sized company of 80. While Alfresco looks nice it lacks project management. I would really like an integrated solution so that all users wouldn't needed to be manually managed for each app.

Answer 1

If you are a Microsoft shop, SharePoint 2010 has added a lot of these features. Their team blog has a lot of good info to start with.

Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog or here.

EDIT

Wikipedia has a nice list of CMS packages for various platforms and languages here.

I am biased towards Microsoft, so I have played with SharePoint and DotNetNuke. Depending on the skill set of your team, these other options may be a better fit.

Answer 2

After some comparison we picked liferay as our final platform. It supports all the features we wanted and even provided more. We got it up and running in minutes and we are starting to add user info. Anyone with similar requirements should definitely check it out.

Yes, it's open source and the community edition is free.

Answer 3

Yes, liferay is good. But its not exactly lightweight and if you want to do a bit more customisation than just styling, be prepared to jump into code!
