I'm working for Sogeti, a big elephant (>3000 employees in the Netherlands) and I want to promote using Commons as replacement for our current SharePoint intranet. It would definately help if I have some names of other large enterprises that already use Commons.

Any names? Stories?

Jay-

I'm also interested in any enterprise success stories.

I'm exploring Commons at my large employer. Currently it's an as-time-allows skunkworks project only.  I'm working to integrate Commons to our existing CRM so that, among other things, a Commons group can be created around a specific customer sales opportunity to allow collaboration among internal resources who can engage with the salesperson and help close the deal.

We've seen some enterprise CRM demos lately and the target functionality is approximately that provided by salesforce.com's "Chatter" platform.  (I'm less familiar with Jive, I think it's similar.)

For my purposes I am using the Services module to allow my CRM to call out to Commons to create groups, maintain group membership, publish nodes to the Group which represent the latest snapshot of quotes issued to customers, etc.  I need functionality provided by modules like:

This is the sort of integration functionality which large enterprises need and it would be great (speaking selfishly) if Acquia were helping out in the context of Commons, or at least if these things were on your radar.

Is my use case above something you're interested in pursuing?  If so I'd love to talk to you further.
