Ideas for a Competitive Knowledgebase

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on creating a competitive knowledgebase.
Here are the details:
#1. This is for my marketing group (about 15 users)
#2. It will hold web clipping, word docs, excel sheets, powerpoints, pdfs & jpg.
#3. The idea is to have the marketing group add content, assign categories/key words and search.
#4. I know (and have used) several “standalone” apps with good success (i.e. OmeoPro, UltraRecall…) but none work well with a shared database on the web or server.
#5. I came close with a product called “Web Research” (http://www.macropool.com/en/index.html) The weakness it that it does not index documents, only web clipping. FYI I know many of you use Surfulater… You should checkout Web Research, it really in a great product!
Thanks for your help in this matter!!!

JJ,
You should definitely look at OneNote 2007… It is supposed to work great with shared documents. It indexes, and you can store most anything within it. You can’t imbed an OLE spreadsheet, but the spreadsheet file can be stored within it. You can also “print” any document to OneNote, and make it searchable.

JJ,
Look at MyBase server edition, at http://www.wjjsoft.com . [Coincidence ???] I use the single-person edition. (See my posting here on MyBase & Surfulator.)

I am setting up something along similar lines in te social services agency where I work.
Initially I have used MyInfo because of its user-friendly GUI, the availability of columns, the elegance of the elegance of the user-defined keyword process, and the fact that if someone other than myself is going to use it (a probability) to get material into it, that it has to be real easy with minimal learning curve. This latter point is important b/c a lot of people in this group are not computer types, and question whether what I am doing will ultimately have value for them.
I question it also, but having read a paper put out several years ago by USAF on managing knowledge bases, I believe it is worth trying.
