We have updated our popular CMS ROI Calculator.
We first created the CMS ROI Calculator as a companion piece to our book Managing Enterprise Content: A Unified Content Strategy. We’ve recently revamped it to reflect current industry costs and we’ve added a new section on publishing tool costs.
If you are interested in purchasing content management technology, this calculator will assist you in determining costs.
Note that developing a successful business case is about a lot more than running numbers. You need to:
- Analyze your situation
- Determine your pain points
- Identify what those pain points are costing you
- Identify what those pain points are costing you
And of course you need to put these numbers into the context of a business case that will help your organization to understand the benefits of moving towards content management.
For more on calculating an effective ROI refer to Chapter 3 of Managing Enterprise Content: A Unified Content Strategy and consider attending Intelligent Content 2010. We’ve got a great selection of speakers. Chona Shumate from Cymer, one of our featured speakers talks about How to Turn Content into a Corporate Asset. And Rahel Anne Bailie, Intentional Design Inc. speaks about Raising Content IQ with a Good Strategy where she talks about treating content as an asset.
Download the ROI Calculator. Give us your feedback on this new revamped calculator.
