It really comes down to a matter of suitability, when defining the need of the organizations small or large CMS, LMS systems. Implement these systems have high front-end costs. Doing a cost benefit analysis is key in evaluating each client’s requirements and specifications. The question becomes What is your return on your investment ? Leaving the decision makers with tools to make a choice whether to implement a CMS, LMS, Open source, or Traditional (Human) management system. Kruse’s (2002-2004) research revealed these factors as being: student and instructor, design and development, delivery, and administration and maintenance costs. Against these variables in the amount of people involved, life cycle and functionality of the system and the availability of funding.

I agree that it really is a matter of looking at the return on investment. That hard part is that in education with money being so tight having such a large upfront cost is often difficult to sell school boards and the public on.
In Arizona budgets have been cut so much that many teachers are being laid off. Having the funds to start a new program when so many programs are being cut is an issue many of the districts in my area are dealing with.
