We all know how successful the internal projects are? The people constraint, hardware constraints, time, budgets, funds and scores of other parameters...all lead to slow death of these projects. I believe, none of the Fortune 500 are actually implementing Open Source PCM. Reason they are already trying to consolidate their offering into smaller number of Enterprise Portals' and here they can not afford to go wrong. Hence go to BEA, IBM of the world. Also they can leverage their existing partnerships with the vendors for hardware and software benefits.
