The biggest challenge in determining TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and ROI (Return on Investment) is deciding how much of a role the influencing factors will make in the final decision.

With commercial content management systems, the cost of license fees can add up quickly as you add content editors, software extensions, servers and databases. With the open source licensing model, you can minimize the amount of your initial investment, which increases your ROI over the same time period.

With the money you save in expensive licensing fees, you can invest it in the part that matters most to your business - customization of the software and training. By hiring a professional consultancy to build upon the Enterprise Content Management System, tailor it to your business and train your editors, you will be starting your project off right from the start, saving even more money in the future.
