That's the promise, but history shows that with these types of project, the
promise tends not to happen if it's more efficient to do something less.
In this case, it's more efficient to just create one, so short-sighted
middle managers do that, and then many (possibly most) end users can't
healthily subsist on the result.

The solution to this is non-technical.  That doesn't mean the problem can't
be solved, just that you need another approach to solve it.  Heck, if you
could engineer the system such that the above-mentioned short-sightedness
either is given no chance to interfere or leads naturally to the correct
solution anyway, there are more immediate problems such a solution could be
adapted to.
