How to choose a Vernon CMS alternative
- 1
What is your bill tied to?
Check what your current bill covers: Vernon combines user licences, cataloguing and optional modules, with an annual support agreement required in the first year and optional after that. Compare only the functions and support your organisation actually uses.
- 2
Do your records stay yours?
With a version built around a database you own, your records stay in a database you own. Ask what happens to the original Vernon records during import, and keep access to the information you need before ending your current arrangement.
- 3
Does it fit your own rules?
Check whether the system can reflect your own records, fields and working rules. Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version around how it runs, rather than expecting you to adopt a standard setup.
- 4
What does switching involve?
A selected object export can be brought across, but other modules need deliberate mapping. Agree which records will move and how they will be checked before you switch. Enterprise DNA brings the Vernon data across and runs your version for you.
The option that fits
A version built around your business
If you want a system shaped around your business, Enterprise DNA builds your version around your records, fields and working rules. Your information sits in a database you own, and you work with it in plain language. Enterprise DNA brings your Vernon data across and runs the agreed version for you. The arrangement is one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you prefer to manage it yourself, there is also a free version.
