Average price per seat of LMS.

Jay Cross' Notes on LMS presentation by Bryan Chapman (from Brandon Hall group).

Jay Cross is blogging the VNU Supplier Summit. There are lots of nuggets in his notes, and of particular interest to me was the session by Bryan Chapman, an LMS analyst with Brandon Hall, who had some numbers associated with average LMS license prices. They seem important enough to be quoted below:

Average price per seat of LMS

	Trainees:	500 users	10000	25000
Licensed	1st year	$83	$22	$17
	3 year license & maintenance	$42	$12	$9
Hosted	1ST year	91	18	13
	3 year	84	16	12

The vendors in the post-secondary CMS world get very upset when their customers start publishing the numbers for their individual license deals, which has made it extremely difficult to get a view of what an average seat is costing across different size license bases. My general impression, though, is that the difference between the post-secondary CMS and corporate LMS license prices is not as big as I had initial thought. - SWL
