While it seems that everyone relies on a commercial content management system these days, content managers who are truly happy with their providers are scarce. Some organizations purchase tools without a solid structure or strategy in place. And then there are vendors that promise the moon, and, in the end, fall short.

Some site owners are considering license-free open source, or software whose code is available for users to use and modify freely. Join Toby Ward, president of Prescient Digital Media, and get the scoop on open source solutions for content management—and determine if it’s right for you. You’ll learn how to:

Understand open-source dynamics and how organizations use it for content management

Evaluate the benefits and pitfalls of open source, including costs and support, before investing time and money

Compare open source and licensed off-the-shelf solutions—and make an informed decision on your content management strategy
