No. While many commercially available content management systems demand very high prices, a more cost-effective alternative is to choose a content management solution based on open source software.

In comparison, the cost of commercial content management solutions can run into hundreds of thousands of Euros. Not all open-source software is free. Some charge a fee for software licences, but even in these cases, open-source software is still a cheaper option than offerings from commercial vendors. With no outlay for software, an open-source content management solution leaves a greater portion of the project budget available for other aspects of the solution such as customising the software to fit unique business needs, integrating with other enterprise platforms, developing templates and processes, training, and testing and evaluatio
