Back in May Forester research contacted the Drupal association asking if they could talk to some Drupal customers and vendors. We connected them with a couple of Drupal consulting shops and in turn some of their customers. Here's the report and a nice summary by Matt Asay, from Alfresco:

Quoting the report from Matt's quote:
"For an open source WCM vendor to be relevant, it must have a satisfactory product offering, proven enterprise-level implementations, and a large--and passionate--community of developers and service providers. Currently, enterprises interested in open source should keep an eye on two offerings--Alfresco Software and Drupal--because:

    * Both have taken pages from the commercial vendors' playbooks [i.e., enterprise-class support, stability, etc.]....
    * Technologists praise the product architectures....
    * Both have strong professional communities.
