CMS Pricing: Where Do We Go From Here?

Here we take a look at what lies behind the thinking when CMS vendors set their pricing structures. With CMS prices varying from free to license to hundreds of thousands of pounds for a license, what is it that determines at what price a particular vendor chooses to sell their product. What factors govern these decisions and why the customer should be aware of these considerations when selecting a CMS.
