I'm thinking that Contribute offers a great opportunity for install/configuration/training, with a good upsell for a full-featured, custom CMS in some cases - either immediately or down the road.

Some business will be excited about Contribute. Others will understand or find out the hard way that they really need a CMS. Of course many are still finding out the hard way that CMS is an often abused term and that home grown systems aren't going to meet their future needs.
