i came across an interesting post and a book written by Bill Ives and Kathleen Gilroy on intranet 2.0 Transforming your intranet which is spot on interms of how web 2.0 technologies will be deployed inside enterprises.
One of the biggest challenges in transforming existing intranets is the fact that large enterprises have traditional portal products currently in their infrastructure which has substantial sunk cost associated with it. So, any new portal product needs to provide substantial usage based benefits and an overall TCO that is substantially lower than the existing maintenance contracts.
I believe it's a question of time before disruptive products are developed which will drive enterprises to transform their existing monolithinc intranets.
