What a good reply looks like here
Good replies stick to the question, share relevant experience or evaluation criteria, and don't promote a product or service.
Sample reply: If your documents are spread across multiple repositories, I would compare knowledge-management options on search quality, how well they connect to the repositories you already have, permission controls, and how easy it is to organize content. It may help to list the repositories you use today and say whether your biggest problem is search, document organization or knowledge sharing, because different tools are stronger in different areas.
When to skip r/consulting
If your goal is to advertise services, run lead-generation campaigns or promote a product directly, this community usually isn't worth the effort. Participating only makes sense if you can contribute relevant, non-promotional consulting knowledge within the rules.
