Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... SharePoint Licensing Costs

"Based on freely available retail pricing on Microsoft's website, we assembled three scenarios that outline pricing for a typical end-to-end, small, mid-sized and large SharePoint implementation. we assumed that the customer had to buy both server and client licenses as a part of the package; in reality, many customers will likely have server licenses. In the small enterprise scenario, we used a benchmark of 100 employees; for the mid-sized enterprise, we used 500; and for the large enterprise, we used 5,000. "

Thoughts on the future of content management

01-Nov-2005   --  

Lou Rosenfeld graciously interviewed me for Digital Web magazine. We touched on a wide variety of subjects, including rising tensions between "web" and "enterprise" content management groups within large organizations, as well as the coming importance of canonical design patterns. Specifically:

Relativists think that all content management systems must be unique because companies’ content models and business processes are unique. Determinists—and some CMS consultants fall into this camp—think that they have figured content management out and therefore one need only apply their governance, organizational, or technical model, and everything will be fine. The right answer, of course, lies in between those two extremes.
I'll be elaborating on this idea next week in Denmark.
