Some of this description of document management -- virtual assembly, respository, just-in-time delivery -- sounds like publishing supply chain automation, which is not the same thing. It made me wonder about whether doc management is getting squeezed from all sides -- groupware, search/portal, and supply chain management. As for web site creation and maintenance, Verity's Knowledge Organizer (which I helped create) is ahead of document management in terms of automating the process, which is essential in dealing with the volume of documents that large companies have.

My conclusion is the same as yours -- they need to focus on vertical markets. But it's not clear to me how much service v. product will be needed to succeed. If a lot of customization is required, one has to wonder how large a company can be grown and how much equity could be built.
