Making the Case for Content

Good article discussing features that may be considered "characteristic" of an LCMS system: content creation or ‘authoring’, dynamic delivery, and some administrative capability. What gets me is this little item from Brandon Hall: "if you assume a five-year implementation for 8,000 learners, five servers, and 40 authors, then the average price tag was $537,000 (about $65,000 more than for an LMS). The median price was $430,000, the lowest $150,000 and the highest $1.9 million." This is, to put it bluntly, too much. As Michael Feldstein puts it, "Purchasers of Learning Content Mangement Systems will continue to be disappointed with overpriced, over-hyped, poorly implemented, and poorly documented software that supplies none of the promised benefits." Not good.
