Nothing to do with functionality. Any of the usual suspects will serve. Success is built on change management, governance, support, completeness of your vision for enterprise information management processes, and strong executive support. I've seen the best technology fail and the worst technology succeed.
If pressed for answers on functionality, then I'd say:
* Information architecture (IA) aligned with business processes and a consistent set of information management (IM)Â processes across the business (which is still not about the technology).
* Good metadata and classification model
* Search aligned to your classification scheme.
* Security and compliance baked into your IA and IMÂ work practices (again, not about the technology).
* Keep it Simple for Staff (KISS).
* Support for the business unit/departmental resources and processes such as templates, quality/procedural documentation (more about the IA than the technology).
* Ability to cull redundant, out of date and trivial (ROT) information according to the organisation's retention authority (if it can do this, then it can handle retention for compliance, and it implies you have an effective IA).
* Workflow and forms, an ability to report on these aspects.
1. Seamless integration with the existing application - eg web services call
2.Compression mode capability from the client to the centralized server
3.Cost - some vendor charge by the no of user perform add/update but free for read/review only
4.Migration&Archiving capabilities
Integration. Especially out-of-the-box with current infrastructure. To be successful with the current environment and to help all of the business users with acceptance.Â

When considering a new enterprise software it must do the following things well:
(1) Solve a mission critical or important problem for the organization cleanly, as close to completely as possible and elegantly (simplicity always trumps features).
(2) Have a well designed UX and intuitive learning curve (adding a bit of fun doesn't hurt either - to many "solutions" are downright boring to use!).
(3) Integrate as seamlessly as possible with existing solutions and be adaptable enough to accommodate new tools and business developments that come down the pike.
