Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is driven by a model of:

High cost,
High complexity, and
Customer control through proprietary power

But in the current economic climate, organizations need to do more with less. And have a solution that focuses on:

Lower Cost – A low cost, subscription model with minimal upfront investment that can be
driven out of operating expense (op ex) as opposed to capital expense (cap ex)
Greater Simplicity – Rapid deployment to deliver immediate business value
Greater Customer Choice – Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by reusing existing
hardware, software and skills. No lock-in to one ECM vendor or one stack, so when a
vendor tries to dramatically increase maintenance fees you have a choice to go elsewhere

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) pricing models are often as complex as their products. With literally thousands of options requiring salespeople to go to a “sales university” to learn how to price a product configuration.

These models are typified by:

Per user pricing – Often called Client Access Licenses (CALs)
No difference in pricing for someone who uses the software for 1 hour a year and someone who uses it 24 hours per day
A single user paying multiple times to use different software just to access or edit different content formats e.g. Word and CAD files

This results in a situation where it is not transparent to a customer what extras are required to deliver a working system, and it is often unclear what rights a customer has regarding software use.

It also has major implications when an audit happens.

This webinar reviews publicly available pricing information, and look at the cost of a typical basic system. Find out how it is possible to save between 52% and 96% on the cost of your ECM or SharePoint purchase in year 1.
