I've used it successfully in our small departments, and for when I didn't need BI. For heavy lifting, you'll need a higher, more full-featured version. For BI (analysis services, reporting services, notification services, transformation services) you'll need at least standard. To help get sql server set up and configured properly I relied heavily on Stanek's SQL Server 2005 Administrator's Pocket Consultant, at just under 600 pages it packs in lots of detail.
