The problems that they speak of can be a problem with many CMSs (upgrades break customization) if they are poorly implemented. eZ publish, and possibly other CMS options, have the ability to create all of your customizations including features, design, enhancements, optimizations, etc as extensions that are completely portable. This means that they will survive updates, moving to a new server, etc. However, developers have to know how to do the development this way in order to receive these benefits.
eZ publish as an ecommerce solution has quite a bit of capability, but I would think that it does not have quite as many features as other ecommerce-only options. That being said, it has a powerful and customizable extension system that can be used to make it do anything you want.
-Their concern about losing their work on a feature update is unfounded.
-eZ publish does offer the flexibility for any SEO updates needed (we have done this many times) -eZ does ecommerce and forums in addition to content management All that being said, if your consultants have a specific way of doing things, it might be difficult to get them to change. If they do, they will likely not be as efficient as they are at doing their normal work. Good luck with your project.
