Jim Plush at Panasonic has published an excellent article on why his company went with the Zend Framework for his enterprise applications. Sononaco is in a similar situation as Jim: we build all kinds of sites of all sizes for all types of clients.

We like to think of ourselves growing along with the language. All of our developers started out embedding PHP inside HTML documents. As PHP started becoming more object-oriented we moved on to writing classes and functions. We have developed and modified other packages such as Serendipity, WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, just to name a few.

The move to Zend Framework is not limited to the developer’s perspective. We consider the benefits it brings the client and the user on the front-end as well. Easy search-engine friendly path navigation, integration with external services (YouTube, Twitter, All Things Google) and the fact that you can integrate any JavaScript Framework (we were big MooTools fans) are primary reasons we promote the Zend Framework to our clients. The speed we can develop an application and the ease of updating the Zend Framework on servers are bonus for our developers.
