There are two problems with out shop. One is blob versioning, we have a 
large amount of documents in all sorts of formats (.cad, .xcl, .doc, .etc) 
that need to be taged with engineering and meta- data and filed in a pretty 
complicated draft/release/versioning system.

The other is access and permissions, only certain ppl are allowed to see 
certain things.

The Google Enterprise stuff has some pretty kick-ass features and sells a 
"mini" version for small businesses at under 2 grand...
