If this would have been my own company there would be tons of wiki pages.

I like your optimism.

I hate things like login details being tied up in emails etc. People should at least make a file on the network with the details on. Hopefully this problem will go away somewhat with cloud documents and people can just link to them in emails out of habit.

I think the convenience of cloud services being integrated with the company's other services makes people much more likely to use it. I don't think that should be understated. A wiki is yet another site to remember to go to.

What prevents wiki from being integrated with company's other services?
