I want to develop a confidential and secure intranet site for a group of professionals, which, among other things would include the capability for users to ask and answer questions on select topics. The site would also need to have a CRM (customer relationship management) function where members could input information concerning clients, contacts, referrals sources, etc.

What's the best way to do this?

Thanks

Hire a programmer to design the site for you.

You might want to consider looking at Microsoft's new Sharepoint servers. They have much of the functionality you want and its easy, even for a non programmer, to create surveys and databases.

With Office 2007, the interaction between Office and sharepoint will be even easier.
