Umbraco and the Public Sector

When looking at software solutions for the public sector there are a few key points that are important to any bottom line. Provide better services for less money, a move to self service delivery methods, make access to data more open and harness the skills of the public sector. Umbraco can match these points and more.

In regards to money, open source software is a great way to reduce your costs and free up resources to spend your business money on other services. Most web development projects will include the cost of the CMS and the on-going license fee for that period of time. You can save over a third of the cost by using open source software free from commercial products and licensing.

Another point is freedom. Free from vendors, free to collaborate and free to innovate. There are no pressures from companies to upgrade to their latest CMS, costing you valuable money. By being a part of the open source community you can work with other partners or members of the greater Umbraco community to get more from you site. You also can evolve and innovate as your requirements change without the big dollar expenditure. As the market speeds up you can stay in touch with the rapid speed that Umbraco grows, giving you more.

Umbraco may not suit every public sector organisation but considering the key points to any sectors profitability, reducing costs and growing on your own accord are key points to why Umbraco will work for you. You will effectively be employing the might of thousands of in house developers, external consultants and designers to create the modules that your site may very well need, saving you time and money.
