vBulletin for internal company use
 

Hi,

I am exploring to use vBulleting for improving collaboration between team members and this would be for totally internal use. I have the below questions:

1. How good is vBulletin as an internal company collaboration tool? are any companies using it as a discussion forum within their intranet?

2. Can vBulletin be hosted on internal company server and not on a third party server to make sure the discussions dont leave the intranet

3. How much can the look and feel of vBulletin be customized to "FIT" it into our set of daily use tools in the company?

4. Can vBulletin be accessed by handheld devices and smartphones?

5. How does the licensing work? If i buy one license, can i create 10 forums with different users in every forum? what is the maximum number of forums I can create with one license. The teams are usually 8 - 20 people and there are several of them.

6. Very trivial I guess, but please bear with me. Can I set it up a "by invitation forum"?

7. Can I link vBulleting profiles to windows single signon?

Many thanks for your patience. I would also be happy to talk to you on phone and get answers to these questions.
