Hummingbird's Fulcrum Knowledge Server

Yesterday I received the folloewing from someone in our Mechanical Design Department:

 We are considering a site-wide document management system by Hummingbird (who recently bought PCDocs and CyberDocs). They can run on our Oracle db on the backend.
 In order to provide different look-and-feels for each 'Project' within our system (GAST, NLC, Etc.), each project will require a separate 'library' which boils down to a separate instance of the db.
 It's possible to build a system that has only one schema, but that can handle periferal data outside of the main DMS (doc mgmt sys), which may help, but the easiest way to provide each group with their own interface is through separate instances.  Your thoughts?

Is anyone using this product? Different instances, just because you want a different looking interfaces is patently absurd. Perhaps the MDD guy is mistaken. I'm waiting for him to provide documentation on the Knowledge Server.
