This lack of research on how well courses converted from one CMS to another was surprising, largely because other institutions were clearly contemplating or implementing a change in CMS. The NDUS was not the only system facing constrained budgets and the increasing cost of CMS licenses and supporting multiple products. In 2003, 56 percent of public universities experienced a decrease in their academic computing budgets,7 which prompted a reexamination of CMS costs on many campuses.
