total cost of ownership vs empowerment and spending in the local

I'd say this depends very much on the size of your organisation, and what

Have you looked at other LMS? There are other options too. If you're into
opensource, moodle and sakai are probably the ones to look into, since having a
large userbase in the OSS world is important. However, if you are looking to
save money, I'd be ultra realistic about the real costs involved.

All of this talk about "blackboard" reminds me ..
Does anyone know of a little whiteboard app that can be integrated into a

picture the rest can see in real/semi-real time. I know there are other
things, like IM programs

Yes, I do, we pay around $140k a year for the enterprise version of the
full academic suite based on around 30k FTE. But the software isn't the
most expensive part.
10 servers, SAN Storage, Backup Tapes, Network equipment, Disaster
Recovery and Staff cost far more than the software.
