[Sigia-l] "Study: Content Management Tools Fail"

[Listera]

"Today, more than 60 percent of companies that have deployed Web content
management solutions still find themselves manually updating their sites."

"Overcomplicated, end-to-end packages can as much as quintuple site
operational costs over human labor alternatives. Unfortunately, the breadth
of many vendors' all too-inclusive 'silver-bullet solution' vision has left
these companies struggling with platform lock-in, overengineered site
infrastructures, exorbitant technical maintenance costs, and
per-business-user costs averaging as much as $25,000 per year."

The report found the bulk of companies surveyed felt they overspent on
content management platforms, and the tools in those platforms are
under-deployed. Sixty-one percent of the surveyed companies said they still
rely on manual processes to update their Web sites.
