Inside one company. if that company isn't too big or diverse, you can 
force everyone to use the same software and the same data model. In a 
small company or organization, this may even happen naturally. However 
the larger and more distributed companies, organizations, and groups 
become, the harder it is to enforce a single data model because 
different organizations and individuals have different ways of seeing 
the world. This is natural, and there's nothing wrong with it. Some of 
the techniques that work in single organizations fail when applied to 
multiple organizations or on Internet scale.
