How much does it cost?

 

In the not-so-distant past, an enterprise-wide content management system was an expensive endeavour. For example, an intranet CMS could easily cost over £50,000 in addition to a “per registered user” fee - a cost that only large organisations could justify and afford. DNN has changed all that.

 

The software itself is Open Source. Companies such as ours charge only for the time it takes to install DNN and make any client-requested modifications, including graphic design and functionality. Every organisation runs differently after all. Perhaps you need DNN to seamlessly integrate with your internal network security, or link with an existing in-house database. Or, simply use it as-is. It grows as you grow.
  

Open Source software

Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a non-profit corporation formed to educate about and advocate for the benefits of open source and to build bridges among different constituencies in the open-source community.

One of their important activities is as a standards body, maintaining the Open Source Definition for the good of the community. The Open Source Initiative Approved License trademark and program creates a nexus of trust around which developers, users, corporations and governments can organise open-source cooperation.
