When one weighs a decision in favor of a Content Management System, technical and content-related requirements are important considerations, but economic aspects are always crucial.

In addition to the costs of the system itself, one should also be aware of certain other factors. These include: how laborious or easy will it be for editors to familiarize themselves with the system; the tasks associated with adapting to the system; the fees charged by external specialists; the maintenance costs; and last but not least, the security of the investment.

CMSLAURIN reduces the amount of labor which editors must exert to familiarize themselves with the system because SmartAgents and EasyLaurin Mode enable editors to work intuitively.

Thanks to its modular and open concept, adaptations to specific requirements can be implemented very inexpensively.

As a general rule, external specialists are not needed. CMSLAURIN can be fully mastered by administrators who are sufficiently familiar HTML. However, thorough famliarity with SQL and server-side scripting (PHP)are essential for programming new modules for CMSLAURIN to cope with specific needs.

The maintenance costs for the editorial and administrative care are low thanks to the simple operability and the power of the administrative functions.

The investment is highly secure because CMSLAURIN relies entirely on open, well-established standards. If necessary, all contents can be ported into other databases. Whenever desired, one can even generate a static site in classical HTML from a Web site in CMSLAURIN. This static site can then be maintained by ordinary HTML editors.
