You need to consider some important points to reach that goal. Do not underestimate the initial effort it takes to get a collaboration tool accepted within the company. Support from upper management is a must. A company with a culture that encourages information sharing is much more likely to succeed than one where information hoarding is the norm. There is also an initial "Catch 22" problem if you intend to use it as a knowledge base: "Why should I use the tool? There is so little information in it." An incentive program to reward contributions, and a dedicated knowledge engineer can help in the initial phase of deployment. -A side note in case you intend to use TWiki on your Intranet: -TWiki is successfully deployed as a collaboration tool and -dynamic Intranet tool at many major companies.
