Purchasing a new Web content management (WCM) solution or extending the features of a current WCM you have in place can be an expensive undertaking.

If you’re responsible for planning your company’s WCM investments, you have two goals that are likely equally important:

• To create a compelling business case that incents management to loosen the purse strings
• To ensure you have an ROI story that will justify your investments and ensure the long-term organizational support of your WCM initiative

This webinar will share an overview of the variables that IT and Business owners must consider to achieve both goals. We’ll address:

• The pros and cons of on-premise vs. cloud-based vs. managed solutions
• Guidelines for estimating hardware, software, bandwidth, staffing and implementation services, etc.
• Ancillary costs to consider such as content migration, web analytics, performance monitoring, and integration of the CMS with other software packages
