I'm replacing a crappy Windows-based helpdesk system that has license
restrictions and horrible locking problems, with a Zope/PostgreSQL one
that works the way I want (nearly).  (http://f2w.sourceforge.net)

Benefits: authentication and access control is handled for you, content
management through the web means you don't need any fancy client-side
tools, and the friendly user community goes without saying.

Limitations: you have to be a programmer to do anything non-trivial with it.
That's maybe just my limitation though. I am a programmer, so I always try
programming first and look for other ways to do things if the programming
gets too hard :-)

Best of luck, I can see no reason not to use Zope for what you suggest.
