I Need an In house Media Library, either as part of the Creative Cloud or stand alone - Do you??

Question

I'll explain why you might, as a small video production/graphics company, I mainly do repeat video & graphics work for the same 40+ businesses,
year in and year out. When I'm out and about if I see anything that might be usefull as stock photo/video footage I grab it,
and take it home, however finding that right file/photo/shot six months later is too hard in 14tb of attached and archived storage
besides good quality, local stock photos/footage is expensive.
I'm thinking of a program that would span all of the Adobe products (3D, CorelDraw & CAD too would be great),
Allowing you to enter, alter and read the Metadata, GPS, tags, notes & file info (size etc) from Lightroom, Bridge & Prelude etc.
across every project your machine is connected to including external (usb) & nework drives (lan).
Save the metadata from the media to a database program on your local machine or server
that let's you do Google like searches
I think the main points from my point of view are:
#1 Uses/reads existing meta data fields, no point in reinventing the wheel and all adobe products will work
#2 That metadata fields are then saved to a database that lives on your local machine (
#3 Drives names are saved not just paths (ie "Back Up Drive No04")
#4 A thumbnail is saved to a database
#5 You can manually index a drive or dir and then look at the existing
metadata & thumbnail and add notes, (job, additional info or client name)
#6 Batch add notes IE Select Dir/ and add job or client name to all selected files
#7 Adding note’s is additive IE; If you had existing metadata/notes batch adding would not delete anything just add
#8 SEARCH Fuzzy, Date, File Type & Boolean search IE “Truck” after “june 2013” file type “MOV “
Yes, I know that Adobe has a digital asset management (DAM) system, but that's not designed for a smaller 1~4
user video or graphics company, it's too big, too much, and I'm guessing too damm expensive
(anything that doesn't have a price and just says "call Us" is  too damm expensive)
I'd love to hear everyones key points/needs,
and if you thought is is a good idea.
