Optimizes R&D resources (makes existing firm know-how shareable across businesses; increased problem-solving potential, utilizes external expertise) Increases ROI (return on investment) through re-use, re-packaging and re-purposing of information and knowledge and re-using existing solutions; Avoids re-inventing the wheel, costly lawsuits. Uncovers new sources of revenue (e.g. license- in/out) Inspires new ideas and opportunity identification (e.g. via solution transfer, gap identification, across-business fertilization)

Technical Architecture: Web-Based Database-Centric Approach with Data Warehouse Orientation Basically, a Two-Tier Architecture:
Web (access and presentation, post-processing after export), Database (business logic, workflow, knowledge layer with metadata and ontology, data capture, access layer; database classes)
Towards a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Native XML database (and XML-enabled databases) XML export and XSLT post-processing Windows-oriented (user interface; office software integration) Date Warehouse Orientation (Information Warehouse)
Syntactic and semantic data/information consistencies Integrated analysis modules (ETL) and exports to external analysis tools
