I am doing some research on Web Map Servers to find out what options I have.
My boss would like to be able to display our proprietary maps as well as
maps from other sources such as Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft on our company
web site. He suggested I copy the data storage format for google maps or
bing maps and convert all our mapping data into raster tiles. Would it be
better for me to write a WMS server for our maps, which would not be that
difficult, or convert all out mapping data into tiles?

Easiest of all to use an Open SOurce WMS solution (e.g. Geoserver) and
write a plug-in for your proprietary maps. You could also use
OpenLayers - few formats are opaque to that!
