I don't think there's much of a "standardise everybody else out of a job"
factor in KMS. If you talk to all the people in your org about the concept
of a system that could search everything in the network for keywords,
concepts, metadata, etc., everybody will most likely agree that it'd be
grand to be able to find out if somebody else has already produced info
they're about to create so that they can just reuse it, but almost nobody
will want to have to take on the task of making it happen. So *if* you
can offer a system that will scan all the different file formats there
already are and enable their cataloging and reuse, you probably won't
be putting anybody out of a job, because in most orgs there's nobody
doing it now.
